Rep. Calvert’s Response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address

January 28, 2014

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert issued the following statement in response to President Obama's State of the Union Address:

"During the remaining three years of President Obama's term in office the majority of the American people want him to govern from the middle – not from the radical liberal left. The President needs to accept and respect the fact that voters elected a Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Instead of threatening more unilateral executive actions and regulations, I would urge the President to sit down with members from both parties and find common ground. In the House, we have approved a number of bills on a bipartisan basis that address our continued jobs shortage and the disastrous implementation of ObamaCare. Encouraging the Senate to take up these bills would be a productive starting point for President Obama's 2014 agenda."
