Dear Friends,

With the Senate’s overwhelming bipartisan vote in favor of The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act, I encourage the House to promptly schedule this essential economic measure for a vote and act to send it directly to the President’s desk without delay.

The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act embodies priorities from both Democrats and Republicans, and allows us to move forward in providing tax relief and economic assistance to millions of Americans. This bipartisan compromise is by design a temporary measure and, with its passage, we must acknowledge that our work is not done. We must continue to work together in a bipartisan fashion with a sense of shared responsibility—toward solutions that address our economic and fiscal challenges.

It is time for us to put aside the partisan talking points and accomplish what the American people sent us here to do. We need to ensure that no American sees their taxes increase and that those who are unemployed receive the help they need until they can find employment during these challenging economic times

Sincerely,

U.S. Congressman Mike McIntyre
Representing the 7th District of North Carolina
