There are just two issues stopping the Obama shutdown from ending: number one, make Congress and the White House obey the same ObamaCare rules as everyone else; number two, the President let business off the hook for a year. We want workers to be let off the hook for a year, too. That's what Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in my district all want, and that's what the Republicans ask--equal justice for all Americans. What is so hard to understand about all that? It's really that simple. They will negotiate with Putin, Assad, and even Iran, but not with House Republicans. That's not fair. That's not right. And it's not good for the United States of America. ____________________
