Cassidy Calls For Harry Reid To Condemn Shutdown Campaign
Statement
Issues: Government Operations
Today, Congressman Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) called on Harry Reid and Senate Democrats to stop their political arm from actively campaigning for a government shutdown. He released the following statement:
"Senate Democrats who hope for and celebrate a government shutdown with this website ignore the fact that President Obama could use a shutdown to deny resources to troops, cut off benefits to seniors and fulfill his mission of shutting down the oil and gas industry. If he instructs the Department of Interior to stop inspections, it would effectively cause another moratorium, hurting Louisiana families and businesses. I ask Harry Reid to respect these families and take down this site."
