Ministers pray at dawn Tuesday in an effort to send a message to lawmakers that political divisiveness hurts the most vulnerable Americans.
  • Filed Under

Jack from Westmont: A word to Al from Pitman, who claims that our president has been scheming to bring all this division among the citizens of this country. Look at yourself in the mirror, Al. The difference between you and the president is what in large part is responsible for the un-Christian hatred I see in so many.

Ron from Cape May Court House: Of all the things that Congress, the Senate and the White House could have done collectively or independently, cutting off money to military survivor families, and not supplying transportation to Dover to pick up the bodies, is despicable. As a combat vet and somebody that has escorted bodies during my time in the military, this is the lowest thing they've ever done. Also low was abandoning the cattle farmers, the ranchers. All the cattle that died in the storm in South Dakota. If you don't help them out under the farm plan, prices are going to go up and we're all going to become vegetarians.

Bee from Williamstown: What has happened to the good old USA superpower? The Third World is laughing since we're becoming the way they are. No pay for the essential workers, but the Congress is being paid right now. They are nonessential. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Mike from Atco: In regard to this shutdown by the Congress: This is not a shutdown. It is a wildcat strike. If President Obama had the power, he should cut everybody in the House. No pensions, nothing. Let them go. Send a message out to them: Stand up for the people. Get rid of everybody in the House. This is a wildcat strike. People on furlough: You're not furloughed, you are laid off. Ronald Reagan did that with the air traffic controllers. Let's do the same thing with the House.

Lenora from Camden: I tried to explain the government shutdown to my grandchildren. The only thing I can come up with is that President Barack Obama is a black man.

Bill from Pennsauken: I want to know how this "Spite" House can deny World War II and Vietnam vets the right to visit their memorials while allowing illegal immigrants to hold a rally on the mall in Washington that is closed to U.S. citizens. Now we know where their priorities lie.

Bob from Haddon Township: I think this is an appropriate time for a quotation from the English author G.K. Chesterton: "It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
