CUELLAR STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

Washington, Jan 24 -

Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) issued the following statement following President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address to Congress:

“The President’s address has given us a roadmap with which we can move forward as a nation with a strong economy,” said Congressman Cuellar.

“Our economic future depends on the direction we take after tonight,” said Congressman Cuellar. “We need to unite not as Democrats or Republicans but as Americans, and give our middle class the opportunities they need to bring us back into economic prosperity.

“The families I represent and taxpayers around the country need Congress to put aside politics and get to work. They want to have a good job, buy a house, get educated, raise a family and we owe it to them to bring back this American dream.

“While we have seen significant progress in the economy, there is still plenty of work to be done,” said Congressman Cuellar. “I look forward to working with the President and with my colleagues in Congress to do what’s best for the American people.”
