Democrats: Stand strong against Tea Party Republicans
From the government shutdown to the debt ceiling, Tea Party Republicans have wreaked enough havoc on our country. Democrats must stand strong -- demand a vote on a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government -- and don't capitulate on Social Security, Obamacare, or other vital programs.
Why is this important?
I work for a federally-funded tribal college. Some spending at the school has been curtailed but fortunately for now we are still getting paid through conservative fiscal management. However, this will have a huge impact on many at the school: students, employees, and their families, if this continues and we hit the debt ceiling.
This partisan game-playing has really gone too far and Congress needs to come together for the common good of the American people and everyone whose lives depend on a functional federal budget.
