Holding the well-being of our entire country hostage to a small Tea Party right-wing faction of the Republican party is totally unacceptable. Vote to pass a clean budget bill and lift the debt ceiling.
Why is this important?
We elected them and are paying the Congress to work for us. They have chosen not to do so.
A vacation long-scheduled in a national park, clinical trials which may be needed for my cancer-stricken husband, research for better treatment for cancer-stricken patients, our children's education, and a myriad of social safety nets are in peril.
No one in any elected office should be able to harm the people in this fashion. Stop the cuts, pass the budget, raise the debt limit. Now.
