LACY CLAY (D) MISSOURI REGARDING REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN | 2013-10-01 | 2013 | 2013-10 | Democrat | House | MO | William Clay | C001049 | lacyclay.house.gov | legacy | MEDIA CONTACT: STEVEN ENGELHARDT (314) 504-4029 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN WM. LACY CLAY (D) MISSOURI REGARDING REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WASHINGTON, DC The following is a first-person statement from Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri in reaction to House Republican action to shut down certain operations of the federal government in order to deprive 30 million uninsured Americans of healthcare coverage, which is now available via Obamacare open enrollment at www.healthcare.gov ==== Last night...House Republicans proved that they hate the President more than they love their country. The Republican government shutdown is outrageous. Remember, this was their choice, not ours. Speaker John Boehner caved into the anarchists in his own caucus who have shut down the government in an effort to kill the Affordable Care Act. But, that's not going to happen. Open enrollment began today, on schedule, at www.healthcare.gov or www.covermissouri.org House Republicans allowed their Tea Party tantrum to shut down the federal government and bring the United States closer to defaulting on our debt. That's selfish, irresponsible and wrong. And it proves that they have learned absolutely nothing from the last time they did this to the country. = -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
