Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today calling on House Republicans to schedule action on President Obama’s American Jobs Act:

“House Democrats held meetings across the country with constituents, including small business owners and entrepreneurs, to hear their proposals for growth and job creation. President Obama’s American Jobs Act will strengthen small businesses by helping them to grow and hire.

“Instead of supporting legislation to put people back to work and put money in the pockets of workers, Republicans are ignoring America’s top priority. Republicans should schedule action on the American Jobs Act to help put Americans back to work.”
