RN-T.com – Graves votes to fund the FDA

U.S. Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ranger, issued the following statement after voting for, and the House passed, H.J.Res. 77, a bill to fund the Food and Drug Administration (FDA):

“Today, House Republicans and Democrats passed the ninth bill to reopen a common ground area of government. This bill would keep FDA workers on the job to provide critical consumer protections. While the House continues to act responsibly to fund as much of the government as we can, Harry Reid and his Senate Democrats refuse to pass our funding bills or even negotiate.”

“The path to any agreement goes through negotiations, and it’s time for Harry Reid to talk to us about a fair funding bill. Every American deserves the same protection from Obamacare that the president gave to businesses and others. My constituents should not be forced to buy a bad, unaffordable product under the threat of a fine while the president’s friends are exempt.”
