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 moved to Virginia 4.5 years ago from El Paso, Texas. I am a retired soldier. I have to work because my military retirement is surely not enough to retire on. I love my job. I also must work because the state of Virginia does not allow me to collect unemployment. I love what I do. I feel vital working. I am of sound mind and body. I want to work.
Make your decision and allow me to do the work (in the public sector) that I love. I have bills to pay. If this goes on any longer, I am not sure I will have money to pay my rent.
