Letter to the editor: Why hasn't Sen. Johnson talked about these votes?

From Catherine Gissing

To the editor:

After Pres Obama was elected for a 2nd term the Republicans in Congress decided to block his budget bill.

To do this even though it would cost the economy millions they voted to shut down the Government which included Sen Johnson and Rep. Ryan votes.

After a few months voters told them it was a bad idea. The majority voted to reopen the government but Sen Johnson and Rep Ryan both voted to keep it closed. When people couldn't get in the National Parks they didn't come there to patronize the restaurants and motels. Many businesses had a big cut in income and paid less state and federal income taxes and made the deficits more.

Is this the kind of people we need in Congress?

Vote them out.
