Speaker Boehner: What are you waiting for?

Organizing for Action
Joe --

Did you hear what Speaker John Boehner just said?

He told press today that he can't pass immigration reform right now.

That's a load of bull.

Last summer, 68 senators -- from both parties -- voted to pass comprehensive reform. And by most counts, more than enough members of the House have said they'd support that exact bill. That means it could pass any day, if only House leaders would bring it up for a vote.

So when Speaker Boehner says he can't pass immigration reform legislation this year, what he really means is that he won't.

Tweet at Speaker Boehner now -- ask him why he's refusing to take action to fix our broken immigration system.

Once again, Speaker Boehner is letting an extreme segment of his party run the entire House of Representatives. We saw that when they shut down the government in October, and now they're back at it again, standing in the way of immigration reform.

Every day the House doesn't act is a day that more families are hurt by our broken system.

The truth is more than eight in 10 Americans support a comprehensive approach to reform -- and Speaker Boehner has a bill in front of him right now that we know would create jobs, reduce the deficit, and grow the economy.

Instead, Speaker Boehner is trying to blame the President for the House's inaction.

Tweet @SpeakerBoehner right now and ask him what he's waiting for:
