This shutdown was completely preventable. It should not have happened.
And the House of Representatives can end it as soon as it follows the Senate's lead, and funds your work in the United States Government without trying to attach highly controversial and partisan measures in the process.
In fact, more than 50 current or former Federal employees have received the Nobel Prize for their efforts.

This is the exact letter everyone on the .MIL network RCVD, myself included. It raised the hairs on the back of my neck because it was clearly an illegal act. Using FedGov resources for political gains or political posturing is against the Hatch Act. He should be charged.edit on 7-10-2013 by tkwasny because: Typo fix

All civilian employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the President and the Vice President, are covered by the provisions of the Hatch Act.
Hatch Act doesn't apply to the President.

Hmmm, I would like to see this list. I assume they were not TSA employees and did not belong to public sector federal unions.

But the Republicans are the guilty ones.
They are demanding something before they fund the government...Dems just want to fund the government. Republicans are saying "Give me something before I do my job". It's as simple as that.
Dems just want to fund the government.

'Guilty' of proudly exercising their rights as elected officials that represent the majority of the population instead of acting like wusses.
Clearly most "Dems" were handed mommy and daddy's credit cards upon first whine as teenagers, because that's what they're demanding right now. Republicans are absolutely doing the job WE THE PEOPLE sent them to DC to do... stop the goddamn drunk with power spending spree Obama's first 4 years jabbed up in the eye socket with and attempt to block the hole from future jabbings. That's what WE THE PEOPLE elected them to do and, by God, it looks like they're doing it.
