House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) urged Democratic colleagues to remain united against the spending package pending before the House, despite President Obama’s statement of support for the legislation.

“It is clear from this recess on the floor that the Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass the CRomnibus,” Pelosi wrote in an open letter. “This increases our leverage to get two offensive provisions of the bill removed: the bank bailout and big money for campaigns provision. However you decide to vote in the end, I thank those who continue to give us leverage to improve the bill. Stay tuned.”

Obama announced his support for the bill after it nearly collapsed on a procedural hurdle earlier today.
