Remember at next election

Sat., Oct. 12, 2013

Let us all remember the next time we vote for Congress that Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has voted to shut down the government. She appears to be willing to risk the economic recovery that is surely beginning to take place and willing to risk the standing in the world that the United States enjoys as a sound economic bulwark.

As taxpayers, we have had to pay the salaries of House members like McMorris Rodgers, who voted over 40 times to defund the Affordable Care Act. She joined with others to tie funding of our government with again trying to defund our health care bill. How smart is that? She clearly does not know how to solve problems, but does know how to parrot the party line very well.

In my opinion, she does not deserve to represent Eastern Washington.
