5. The Rs have disrespected this president from day 1. They have obstructed much legislation

and have caused harm to this country instead of helping it. I love the letter. I have written to the president also and many senators and congressman requesting that they do not negotiate on the ACA. It is not right.
The Rs don't want people in this country to get health care. And now they have the audacity to blame the democrats for closing down the gov't. The Rs have no shame and you just can't give in to them. Remember, Mr. Weeper of the house said months ago he would not shut the gov't down; well as a typical R he went back on his word.The president and his democrats must stand strong on this. If the gov't is shut down for some time and /or the debt ceiling is not raised it will be on the Rs. You cannot negotiate with unreasonable people. No one in this country ,including Rs, would want the president to negotiate with say Putin if one of Putin's demands was for the US to completely get rid of our nuclear weapons.
