National Security

We need national security that comes with having our government open and working. National Security is significantly decreased putting all Americans in danger without homeland security, air traffic controllers, TSA, IRS, FDA etc. Not to mention the tremendous cost to tax payers having the government partially closed and having 800,000 people directly affective and the hundreds of thousands who are indirectly affected.

Why is this important?

People who work must be paid for what they do, otherwise it is human nature that we do a poorer job. It has been over three weeks since the government partially shut down. I believe the health and safety of all Americans are greatly at risk. I am afraid that things will get worse quick. Negotiating does not mean do it my way or not at all. Our President needs to negotiate and not posture. If he is really concerned about National Security he will sign legislation to reopen the government and then if he really wants a wall he can negotiate with Congress for this as a separate issue.
