RNC CHAIRMAN STATEMENT ON OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS BILL
 
WASHINGTON - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele
released the following statement today:
 
"In the face of an American public thoroughly opposed to larger federal
deficits, today Senate Democrats continued with their out-of-control binge
spending and passed their $447 billion omnibus appropriations bill that
increases non-defense discretionary spending by 12 percent.  Poll after poll
have made it clear that this kind of irresponsible and excessive spending is
unacceptable, but Democrats simply aren't getting the message.  Now the
American people are looking to President Obama to stand true to this
campaign promises of fiscal responsibility and stage an economic
intervention on his spend happy colleagues by vetoing this bill.  I
encourage President Obama to stand firm against the peer pressure and 'just
say no' to Congressional Democrats."
