In years past. elections signaled a time of hope and renewal: Hope that partisan politics would be put aside and renewal of our working relationships across the aisle and across the Capitol. However. even as election results were being tallied earlier this month the new Republican majority was already highlighting the divisive actions they planned to undertake in the next Congress. Among these plans are efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act. and to shutdown the federal government or impeach President Obama over his immigration reforms. Mr. Speaker. I see nothing but divisiveness and partisanship in these plans. In fact. investigations into the creation of the Affordable Care Act or the Presidents immigration policy do nothing to advance the needs of everyday Americans who continue to struggle making ends meet. I urge my Republican Colleagues to abandon these frivolous efforts and instead focus on expanding opportunities for every American and creating a more perfect Union.
