Thank You, to Niki Tsongas who knows what she is doing down in Washington. She sent out this tweet on Saturday.
Source Although I think she may be wrong, that the GOP wants to shut it down. I also think she is partly right. She knows that Obamacare is a good idea for the nation, that everyone should have the right to have basic health care. She is not looking at it from the right point of view, yes the republicans want to stop this, but from our friends in the senate Mr. Markey and Ms. Warren don't seem to care at all. Here are some quotes from their twitter feed. Ed Markey- "ICYMI: Ed to be chair of U.S. Senate Climate change Clearinghouse; continue work combatting dangers of global warming." "Congrats @RedSox on making postseason!" (Source) The problem I have here is this is the guy we sent down to vote represent us, has ruined our voice in DC, he voted present on the case of should we invade Syria? Present really! What happens when something bigger is happening at home, are you going to vote present on this as well, You cannot do that, it is more important that a yes or a no comes out of your mouth, on this situation. Plus who writes in the third person, not this guy. It is weird that you did that. But at least you made a little attempt to show us that you care, your partner in crime on the other hand didn't seem to do that. Elizabeth Warren- "Holly Petraeus (@CFPBMilitary), @nikiinthehouse, @coleynee, (@MASSDVS) & I met #vets & #milfam in Boston, Lowell today." (Source) I am not even going to quote her next two tweets, they have nothing to do with the shutdown. This saddens me when our own senators can't even put something out there in social media concerning more about this shutdown that will effect everyone's life. So when people say "It is the republicans that is stopping this from happening." It really is not, it is everyone who is not putting enough effort to try and stop this. Markey and Warren are not putting enough effort, they don't care it seems. And with Ed's past voting on something very serious, I expect the same for this problem, with the same answer. A "present” vote. That won't help us nor will it help Mr. Markey. Not right, but left. |
