Mr. Boehner, I know your office is being flooded with concerned citizens contacting you and I know likely this note won’t make a huge difference either. But I have the obligation to future generations to try.
You are inside the beltway fighting hard to keep your team together through this difficult and frightening time. And for that you are to be commended. Don’t forget though to step back for a moment and view this “mess” from a larger perspective and this is what my note is about.
We’re working hard to get the word out about how Obama, Reid, and Pelosi refuse to fund the government. But the truth we see in that regard, is 0bama et al, will not negotiate on anything going forward. In fact, many of us believe this strategy has been planned for sometime now and the President is willfully going to crash the United States economy. Why would he have even already tried to rattle the markets? Many of us on the outside are connecting the dots very, very quickly that they are moving in a very intentional manner to bring about an end that millions of people will wake up to in absolute horror.
Speaker Boehner, now is the time of the Patriot. Lives, fortunes, and sacred honor are at stake. Keep trying to fund the portions of the government, history will accurately recount these efforts as well as the petulancy of a progressive party.
God’s Speed and God Bless the United States.
You can also try to send this to Eric Cantor, the House Majority Leader, and cc your own representative and senators. I managed to actually talk to someone in Cantor’s office last week. Your message is a good one.
EBH: “Keep trying to fund the portions of the government...”
Agreed. It may well be that President Obama wants a default regardless of what the Republicans do. Nevertheless, raising the debt limit is probably the right thing to do. That doesn’t have to include giving in to Democrat demands for a “clean” CR. Republicans need to prove we’re not trying to tear it all down overnight. As you wrote, they can continue to pass bills that fund essential portions of the government.
I’m impatient for a return to constitutional governance, but it took nearly a century to build this federal behemoth. We can’t just walk in and act like we want to destroy it overnight. This beast is going to take time to unravel, and we need political majorities to do that. We’ve got to be the party of responsible government!
It was planned. Monday morning our local Farm Services Agency employees went to work and had an email saying to go apply for unemployment and go home. When does the government EVER have a clear plan for anything that quickly? The clear reason is to have visible effect in local communities as to how bad things are.
