• Democrats: Stand strong against Tea Party Republicans
    I have a friend who is now dying of cancer. She has never been on welfare, and has worked all of her life, but could never afford the health care afforded to members of Congress. Therefore she was denied and delayed appropriate treatment for her disease, that she would have received were she a member of Congress. I am appalled at the extent to which the Tea Party GOP has gone in their sick attempts to eliminate the Affordable Care Act, especially this government shutdown.

  • Tea Party Republicans: Stop holding the country hostage!
    From the blocking of certain key legislation such as the jobs bill, immigration, reduction in the budget, sequester, to this shutdown, Tea Party Republicans have wrecked this country with no solutions, no ideas, and no interest in governing whatsoever! I am sick of their political games and racism!

    Republican extremism has effectively made representational government unworkable. Rather than live with prior legislation or enact new legislation, the Republicans are trying to force their own desires on the country-at-large through refusing to allow the government to act at all. Do not give in on any of their demands and make them fully accountable for the results of their selfish actions.

    Republican extremism is impacting my ability to meet my financial obligations. Having no raises for three years and then being forced out of work with no back pay is a financial hardship. It is immoral for Congress to shut us down and get paid while they force over 800,000 people to live without wages indefinitely. Disgraceful!

    Republican extremism has impacted me in this way: My family is without any income. I have a brand new car loan; I won't even be able to make my first payment. I have my first grandbaby coming at the end of the month. What happens to my insurance?

    My fellow federal employees and I would like to continue to work and serve the American people. As a result of the poor leadership from the Tea Party in the U.S House, the government has shutdown and I am in furlough status. A clean budget must be passed immediately before the Tea Party Republicans devastate the economy any further.

    Tea party Republicans have held our government hostage for too long! During that time, more than 800,000 government employees have been unable to work, 3,200 children have been locked out of Head Start, and 401 national parks have been closed to the public. We've had enough -- it's time to end the shutdown, raise the debt ceiling and help America move forward.

    This is absolutely ridiculous and needs to stop. The majority of Americans agree with the Affordable Care Act and are sick of the lies and antics.

    Because of the government shutdown, funding on house loans has stopped but our company depends on this income. We need our sales to continue, for the good of our hometown and our livelihoods.

    Republican extremism has impacted hardworking, tax-paying citizens across the country, particularly those who are most vulnerable: women, elderly, and children. As a business owner who understands economics, I am disgusted. If we don't stop this now, we stand to see this occur whenever Republicans do not get their way. End this shutdown NOW. Americans deserve better.

    It's time to end this. If you can't keep the government running, then you and the rest of Congress should not be paid either.
