Issa: Obama-Pelosi-Reid Regime Must Recognize Demands of the American People

Statement

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement today expanding on comments he made to the Wall Street Journal regarding the importance of advancing a new governing agenda after the November elections.

"For months, we have seen Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Al Franken try and spread the message that if Republicans win back the Majority, they will embark on an obstructionist witch hunt that will shut-down the government. The reality is this election is a referendum on the Obama-Pelosi-Reid regime. If the President recognizes that the American people are demanding from their elected officials a governing philosophy of limited government, less spending and more accountability -- then we will welcome him to that discussion. Let me be clear, I will not compromise on the fundamental conservative principles of fiscal restraint, government accountability and transparency. Ultimately, how acrimonious things get after the November elections is up to the President and his willingness to recognize that his agenda is out-of-touch and has been thoroughly rejected by the American people."
