Democratic women of the House: 'Show us the jobs!'

You have to watch this video. Really - it sums up everything we try to explain about our candidates: they're passionate, articulate, smart, committed, and effective. And they'll get you fired up about making change.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined many of our women in the House at a press conference this week, speaking about the importance of job creation legislation and calling out Senate Republicans who are obstructing forward movement. While the Senate play politics with proposed bills, American families suffer at home -- and our women are set on changing that.
Here's a clip from Speaker Pelosi:
"Time and time again, Democrats in the House have sent legislation to the Senate to create jobs. What is it that the middle-class — what did middle-class families ever do to Republicans in the Senate that they would snuff out every opportunity for job creation that has been sent to them? Why can’t they develop any ideas of their own to create jobs? Why can’t they give a glimmer of hope to America’s working families — to some who have jobs, but fear losing them, to some who want better jobs, to some who are concerned about their children or their neighbors or other family members being able to get a job?"
The video features Speaker Pelosi (CA-08) and Congresswomen Carolyn Maloney (NY-14), Barbara Lee (CA-09), Nydia Velázquez (NY-12), Allyson Schwartz (PA-13), Susan Davis (CA-53), Judy Chu (CA-32), and Rosa DeLauro (CT-03). Watch it here:
