Open Email to Sen. Cruz (TX):
Dear Sen. Cruz,
I have read your form letter on the Sequester.
The is a result of a 2011 law, which was a compromise to allow an increase in the federal debt in exchange for a process to obtain reductions in federal spending. However, the reductions, known as the Sequester, only represent a smaller increase in future spending rather than real cuts.
While the Sequester has been helpful, we are still on an unsustainable spending program and debt increase that continues to harm our economy and will eventually lead to destruction of the US as an economic and political entity. You are hopeful that Congress will set politics aside and seriously address this unsustainable economic program
While I agree completely with your position, I see that you have no recommendations of how we can reverse this unsustainability nor do I. As long as the Democrats retain control of the Senate and we have a Democratic President, it seems to me there is no hope for change, and there is nothing we can do about it. The people will decide in 2014 whether to continue this unsustainable program or not.

Funding the Federal Government
Open Email to Sen. Cruz (TX):
Dear Sen. Cruz,
I have read your form letter on funding the federal government.
In October, the House proposed funding the federal government piece by piece. The Democratic Senate disagreed, which led to a partial 13-day shutdown of the federal government. Funding Obamacare became an integral part of the discussion. The government was reopened, without any progress in funding government operations piece by piece, and with no limitation on funding Obamacare.
You voted against ending the shutdown, because the "deal" to end it did nothing to give relief to the millions of Americans who are hurting because of Obamacare.
Because of inept rhetoric capability of Republicans, they have been saddled with a negative impression of having caused an undesirable shutdown. I don't accept that position. During the 13-day shutdown, no one seemed to be especially damaged, and it was proven that life could still go on quite well in the US without full government operation. However, these were all ancillary to what appears to be the main point, which was to defund Obamacare.
I suggest you may want to no longer look at these abstract ways to inactivate an already passed law. It is not that Obamacare is a good thing. It is terrible and will lead to the destruction of the United States as a significant economic and political entity, unless that law is repealed. However, it will be up to the will of the people in the 2014 election. The people will either vote for continued Democratic liberalism, which is in effect socialism leading to destruction, or do an about-face and allow for the repeal of such disastrous laws as Obamacare.
However, referring to the real title of this message, which is Funding the Federal Government, there will be another controversy on extending the federal debt and approving the present program of federal expenditures. As you know, annual federal expenditures strongly exceed revenues, which involves continued borrowing. This is also an indirect part of the Socialist program, which puts us on the road to destruction. It is this area, where I suggest you apply your greatest attention and resolve.
