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.
Why is this important?
We have worked long and hard so that at our current ages (ranging from 63 to 84), we could finally purchase a home. We are three generations under one roof and require a USDA mortgage. We searched and searched and found the perfect one. It was a foreclosure, so a long and drawn-out process, to be sure.
Finally, six days ago, we received signed documents back from the bank. Yay, it's really gonna happen! A few days later, our government shut down and our mortgage process has been halted.
We are begging you, Congress--PLEASE DON'T SHATTER OUR DREAM!
