Tea Party Republicans: Stop holding the country hostage!
From the government shutdown to the debt ceiling, Tea Party Republicans have wreaked enough havoc on our country. Stop holding the country hostage to further your political gains; vote on a clean budget resolution and raise the debt ceiling without demanding cuts to Social Security, Obamacare, or any other vital programs.
There are members of my family wondering if their Republican affiliation makes sense any more. For example, my son cannot see any conflict between his support for the Republican Party and his decision to sign up for the Affordable Care Act policy for his young family.
None of this makes any sense, and I hope responsible members of the Republican Party will stop being intimidated by political terrorists. Thank you.

Why is this important?
I work for the Department of the Navy and am currently furloughed. As a senior government service employee, with over 42 years in the Navy, the impact on my life is not as grave as for the majority of government employees who will soon be making painful financial decisions in order to continue to meet their obligations. And this is after the eleven days of furlough we already experienced earlier in the summer, the result of sequestration, another political fiasco.
