Congressman Al Green's Statement on the State of the Union

(Washington, DC)--On February 12, 2013, Congressman Al Green released the following statement on the President's State of the Union Speech.

“President Obama has laid out a serious-minded approach for keeping our economy moving forward, growing more jobs domestically, supporting our veterans, and handling issues at the forefront of our discourse.  Strengthening the middle class and helping the least will take the combined efforts of both Congress as well as President Obama. As a Member of Congress, I am ready to work with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to implement the President’s economic growth agenda, while securing Social Security, protecting Medicare, and maintaining Medicaid. It can be done.”
