RNC Continues #FireReid Campaign with Rally at the Capitol ...next >
July 29, 2014 - Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus and members of Congress rallied in front of the Capitol to highlight the numerous bills House Republicans have passed, including 43 jobs bills, that are being held up by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.  The RNC launched the #FireReid campaign a week ago (+) "to remind voters that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Harry Reid and further gridlock in Washington."
U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (TN) cited as an example H.R. 3, to approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.  "It's time for Harry Reid to man up," Blackburn said.  "What is he afraid of?" she asked.
U.S. Rep Steve Daines (MT) stated, "The American people want solutions, and we have over 300 of them sitting on Harry Reid's desk."  Daines is seen as very likely to be elected the next U.S. Senator from Montana.
U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson (OH) spoke...
...as did U.S. Rep. David McKinley (WV).
U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ) cited H.R.1526, the Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act, and said that Republicans offer "solutions, not excuses."
U.S. Rep. Doug Collins (GA) pointed to the stack of bills and declared that Reid "must think this is hazardous material because he don't want to touch it."  He said there is no reason for one man to hold things up in this way. 
Concerned Women PAC president Penny Nance also spoke.
