GOP Reps Talk About Pledge to America

Sterling, Va.

“We made our fair share of mistakes,” Minority Leader John Boehner said this morning of the last time the GOP had a majority in Congress. “We get it, and this is why, when we outline in here, our Pledge to America, I can tell you, we are very serious about implementing our pledge.”

Rep. Peter Roskam of Illinois said that the legislative reforms shouldn’t be discounted. He argued that Americans turned on the Democrats “when they realized they [Democrats] weren’t reading the bill.”
