Below are unembargoed excerpts for immediate release:

"As April 15th approaches, millions of our hard-working citizens will pay their taxes knowing full well that their hard-earned dollars will be shipped to Iraq rather than invested here at home.

"Democrats have already taken action to revive the American economy and support middle-class families. Working with Republicans and President Bush, we enacted an economic stimulus plan that will provide millions of Americans with recovery rebate checks of up to $1,200. Those checks will arrive in mailboxes in the coming weeks, and they will help families who need relief the most and give our economy a badly needed boost.

"President Bush thinks relief for American families can wait. We know relief can't come soon enough.

"In the coming weeks, Democrats will continue to work to reinvigorate the economy. We will fight for a second economic stimulus package that provides more aid to workers, offers support to families, and invests in U.S. businesses that will spur our long-term growth. We will craft comprehensive housing legislation that will help secure the American dream for families at risk of losing their homes. We will continue our fight to change direction in Iraq, and we will once again invest in America."
