Shutdown Update 10/7 2:45pm: More evidence is racking up that the White House is trying to use the government shutdown to create political theater. Last week I mentioned that this is the first time in history that any Administration has closed the Lincoln Memorial during a government shutdown. Well this morning, the White House decided to take down the Amber Alert website but left the First Lady'...s Anti-Child Obesity website "Let's Move" up and running. The American people didn't respond too well to the Administration's theatrics, and the Amber Alert website was quickly relaunched. Harry Reid and President Obama are continuing to publicly state that they will not negotiate. However, this afternoon the President decided to tweet about his new campaign commercial attacking Republicans. Campaigning is not leading Mr. President, and neither is refusing to negotiate. I represent the people of the Third District of South Carolina. When a sitting President says he refuses to negotiate with me, he's saying he's not willing to listen to the people's concerns. I have a serious problem with that. Please help me spreading the word by sharing this status so we can keep people informed about what's really going on.
