Ten days ago Ross was among 27 Members of Congress, including Democrats Alan Grayson and Kyrsten Sinema, who signed a letter calling on Obama to impose heightened restricts on travelers arriving from Ebola hotspots Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.
The letter was for the most part a politely worded Washington exercise in political discourse, but one paragraph did attract our attention:
You [President Obama] have suggested that you will not take such action [closing our borders to Ebola hotspots] until the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends it. We specifically call on you not to “pass the buck” on this crucial issue.
The WHO is an organization of unelected bureaucrats and political appointees of foreign countries. It has no duty to protect the lives and well-being of Americans, as you do. Furthermore, it has utterly failed to stem this epidemic through its own actions. The responsibility for this decision is yours, not theirs.”
It is time Republicans stopped hiding and started campaigning on the issues that Americans really care about and border security and health security and ending Obama’s culture of lies, are at the top of the list in the middle of two deadly epidemics brought about by the President’s open borders policies and his arrogant and corrupted-by-politics bureaucracy
Someone remind me again why I’m supposed to mindlessly pull the lever for Republicans come November.
