[Peace-discuss] FCNL: Your Rep. Is One of a Few With Influence to End the Government Shutdown

[C. G. Estabrook]

Did you say something about a lack of gravity, Wayne?

Or is that about a movie that hasn't opened yet?

The Congressman from the already stressed economy in Wadesville, IN, asseverated,

"We have to get something out of this - and I don’t know what that even is!"

Krugman I think has got at least a bit of it right:

"... my working theory is that wealthy individuals bought themselves a radical right party, believing — correctly — that it would cut their taxes and remove regulations, but failed to realize that eventually the craziness would take on a life of its own, and that the monster they created would turn on its creators as well as the little people.

"And nobody knows how it ends."

But it does remind one of events of 80 years ago. 

Chaos may be preferable.

>> Dear Robert Naiman,
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Your representative is one of a small group of lawmakers who might be able to influence the House leadership to end the government shutdown.
>> 
>> Will you call his or her office today? Please call 877-429-0678 and ask for your representative by name (you can look up the name here). Here are some talking points to help you make your call:
>> 
>> My name is [name] and I live in [city, state].
>> I want Congress to approve legislation that would fund the federal government at the same levels as last year without adding other policy issues.
>> Will the representative support a "clean" Continuing Resolution and encourage other members to do the same?
>> I look forward to hearing about the representative's work to end this government shutdown.
>> Shutting down the federal government to make a political point is going too far. This closure is unnecessary and costly to our country. Please ask your representative to take action to bring it to an end.
