Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.
