ABOUT THE SENATOR CONSTITUENT SERVICES ISSUES & LEGISLATION PRESS CONTACT - - - - - NEWS FROM BARBARA BOXER, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA - - - - - August 02, 2011 Dear Friend: Today I voted for legislation to end the threat of the first default in our nations history. The measure passed the Senate on a 74-26 vote and was signed into law by President Obama. We acted to prevent a catastrophic default that would have hurt every American. But lets be clear: This was a Republican-made crisis. Never before in our nations history has one party held the full faith and credit of the United States hostage and taken our country to the brink of a default in order to push its extreme ideological agenda. It was reckless, it was wrong, and we must ensure it never happens again. I am pleased that we took steps to protect Social Security, Medicare, and other critical lifelines for our most vulnerable citizens. Now we must turn our attention to our countrys most pressing priority: creating jobs and strengthening our economy.
