My Message To All Washington Politicians

You were elected by the American People to effectively run the government. None of you were elected to break the government.

Your inability to come to a budget agreement jeopardizes the continuance of the federal government. If the government closes, it's possible that many Americans will lose their jobs in lay offs or forced furloughs.

I live in a single-income family, where that single income supports me, my wife, and our two boys. If the government closes and I'm in a forced furlough situation, these four people will struggle to eat. We will struggle to keep our house. We will struggle to survive. This is not why you were elected.

Let's be clear: your inability to come to an agreement with each other is breaking our country. And although I may lose my job, my house, my food, my family, all that I have, I will not lose my voice to make sure that you are not allowed to break the government for another term come re-election time. You will lose.

And do not point fingers at other people. When you point fingers, you tell me and the rest of America that you have no control. And why should we keep somebody in office who has no control? You have the control because we gave it to you.

Come to an agreement on the budget. Now. Fix the government. Now. Make peace with the fact that it will not be a perfect budget for anyone, but it will be a budget that keeps our country moving and keeps our work force working. Quit blaming others for this situation and focus on fixing it. It doesn't matter who is to blame, because the reality is YOU ALL ARE TO BLAME. YOU ALL ARE THE BAD GUYS. And until you make sure that we have budget to keep my family in our home, you will continue to be the bad guy.

Don't be a bad guy. Be a good guy. Come to an agreement on the budget. Now. This is the will of the American People.
