“Moments ago, I joined veterans from all over Missouri's Show Me State at the sacred grounds of our Nation's World War II Memorial. This memorial is a monument to the spirit and sacrifice of our veterans, and yet Harry Reid and the President decided to slam the door on the American people and block the House from providing benefits to our Nation's heroes and keeping our national treasures open. Time and time again, the House has voted to keep the government open and provide fairness for all Americans--fairness from an administration that believes they can pick and choose which laws to enforce, while subjecting the American people to the heavy burdens of ObamaCare; fairness from a President who thinks ObamaCare doesn't apply to Members of Congress or the White House. As a result of partisan bickering and gridlock, I have waived my salary for the duration of the government shutdown because Congress didn't get the job done. Those who make the laws should live by the laws, and I will continue to fight for the people of Missouri's Second District. ____________________”
