Washington, DC- Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (CA-39) released the following statement after House Republicans blocked a bill that would provide 160 million Americans a $1,000 payroll tax cut:

“Once again, Speaker Boehner and House Republicans have chosen to raise taxes on millions of American families, cut unemployment benefits, and deny seniors the Medicare services they’ve earned.  Instead, Republicans continue to fight for tax breaks for billionaires.  Tea Party Republicans are clearly out of touch with mainstream America.  My constituents and all Californians deserve better. ”
