Put up or shut up????? The dems shouldnt have to pass it all themselves. Our government is made up of repubs and dems, why should the dems have to pass it all themselves? The repubs should take a stand for our country and help get us out of this mess. A mess that they helped create. So they should have to have a stake in it also. How lame to sit there and turn down a bill because of a speech. No wonder Obama is doing so well in the polls.
