Update-An open letter to John Boehner, the GOP, and the Teabaggers

Update-

I wrote this letter yesterday before the deal went through, but I am leaving it up anyway,

Dear Mr. Speaker,

I am appalled that you would put the American people at jeopardy just because you do not agree with abortion.  It is a constitutional right whether you like it or not.  Shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood funding is selfish, immoral, unethical, hurftul, and stupid.  The economy is still fragile, people are finally starting to find jobs and a government shutdown will hurt it.

Millions of people will be affected by this shutdown.  A high school classmate of mine's husband is a federal employee and in the Army Reserve, and she only works part time.  No full time paycheck will hurt them considerably.  Our military men and women depend on their paychecks to support their families.

I plan on visiting some National Parks this summer for my vacation.  Are you still going to shut the government down that long?  Private concessioniers like Xanterra make a lot of money in the parks and provide jobs.  Shutting the parks down will lead to layoffs.

You Mr. Boehner are selfish.  You are willing to jeopardize the economy just to say fuck you to the President and the Democrats.  This is the worst Congress I have ever seen.  Remember what Newt did in 1996.  He shut down the government and as a result Bill Clinton got re-elected.

Why are you listening to a minority group like the Tea Party?  They may be vocal but they are also small.  The majority of American people DO NOT WANT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.  Start listening to them or you will be gone!
