WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) today urged the House Democratic Leadership to finally offer an agenda that reflects the vision of the Democratic party and thanked the many rank-and-file Democrats that have voted to support Republican priorities this fall.

"While Democrat leaders keep promising the American people an agenda, they remain on opposite sides of many Democrat rank-and- file members who continue to support House Republican priorities," Hastert said. "They have promised a blueprint by Thanksgiving, so we'll be waiting to see what they've come up with. We hope it will be full of new, cost-effective and innovative solutions to America's problems and not just another list of pricey programs to be paid by American taxpayers."
