Honorable Representative Owens,
My communication with you today is relative to the shutdown of Congress and therefore the inability of the United States Government to pay its bills.
I believe it is past time for you, the other elected Representatives from Utah, and the Republican Party in general to sit down with your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to the shutdown.
Yes, this means that you will need to fund the ACA subsidies. For a person with moral or ethical standards, providing/continuing insurance to families in need should be as automatic as eating. If there are indeed aberrations with how the program is distributed, that is to say, if there are non-qualified individuals receiving benefits, then root those individuals out. To deny insurance to the vast majority of recipients who use the system fairly because of the allegedly illegal actions of a slight few, is despicable behavior. It is the action of a tyrannical government, not the action of a democracy.
Allow me to say this in closing: I have voted in every election since 1976. I work on campaigns of candidates whom I judge to be good for the community. When considering my ballot choice, I vote not for the party, but for the person. I judge elected officials not on what they say, but on their actions.
I live and vote in your district, and I am not shy about expressing my content, or discontent, with any elected official.
Respectfully,
Robert M Hartman
