We need to let congress know when they want donations for campaigns, the public has also

reached their debt ceiling and will not be raised...and their budgets say no to continuing resolutions..no donations can be forthcoming. Would be nice if we could do that to companies we owe money to.

If we could, it's possible some arm-twisting would occur in the capitol. Hmmmmmmmm?

When they go back to work as normal people do, I'll consider donating to congresscritters and presidential hopefuls. Until then, I don't have extra money to throw away on campaigns. I'll say the same thing to them that the GOP says to us...get a job! Quit living off the government teat! If you aren't working, you are taking charity.
