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?
I am a federal employee who has been furloughed. My wife is also a federal employee who is working but not getting paid. We'll be okay for a bit but going from two incomes to one will eventually be devastating. We have three kids and we just found out our middle child may need heart surgery, which will of course require a lot of out-of-pocket costs even after insurance.
