Dr. Coburn's Good Faith Negotiations Ignored

Coburn attempts to stop obstruction of civil rights, investigationsand medical research.


Dr. Coburn  has offered in good faith to limit debate on the Majority Leader’s omnibus package of unrelated items. He has also identified for the Majority Leader specific offsets totaling $45 billion that could help pay for his new programs. Unfortunately, Dr. Coburn hasn't received the courtesy of a response. Most of the bills in this package could pass today if the Majority Leader would take the simple step of doing what every American family does every day and agree to live within our means.
