WI Sen Johnson's Reply To The LE Trtmnt Act Support Form

Here is WI Senator Ron Johnson's reply after he receive the request I sent him from The Lymphedema Treatment Act website.

"Dear xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting me regarding federal spending and the partial government shutdown.

While I am certainly appreciative of any effort that calls attention to the damage that Obamacare will cause — and millions of Americans are now experiencing that unfortunate reality — I was not in favor of either the "defund strategy" or Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's engineered government shutdown. The federal government is a big enough drag on economic activity; engineering government shutdowns only increases that harm.

I attempted to help avoid a shutdown by proposing a more realistic one year delay of Obamacare's implementation at a White House meeting attended by President Obama's Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough, and Office of Management and Budget Director, Sylvia Burwell.

I also supported S. 29, the End Government Shutdowns Act, to make government shutdowns a thing of the past. This legislation would automatically fund government at current levels and trigger funding cuts when appropriation bills are not enacted prior to a new fiscal year. Enacting real fiscal discipline is essential. Political gameplaying will not solve Washington DC's dysfunction or America's debt and deficit problems.

Thank you again for contacting my office. It is very helpful to hear the views of the constituents that I serve. To date, my office has received more than 1,100,000 letters, emails, and phone calls. My mission is to provide information to as many people as possible concerning the enormous financial and cultural challenges facing America.

Please see my website at www.ronjohnson.senate.gov for additional information. It is an honor representing you and all the people of Wisconsin.

Sincerely,


Ron Johnson
United States Senator'

Please Note that I used the automatically generated form from the Website Link that I got here for The Lymphedema Treatment Act.

I was flabbergasted by his reply. Obviously neither him nor his staff really read the email. I never edited the form to include any reference to ObamaCare AND CERTAINLY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE GOV'T SHUTDOWN.
