Hello Everybody,

Due to the GOP shutdown of our government, this is what
is happening -

* The Food and Drug Administration is cutting back routine
 food inspections.  What this means is that when Americans
 get sick due to having eaten contaminated food, they will
 blame it on Republicans rather than Obama.

* The Environmental Protection Agency cannot monitor pollution
 on pesticides.  Which is great news for Texas Governor Rick
 Perry, who forgot to mention during the presidential debates
 that the EPA is an agency nobody needs.

* The Labor Department cannot enforce workplace safety
 regulations.  And that means WalMart can hire children
 rather than grandmas and grandpas as greeters.

* The Center for Disease Control cannot monitor the speed
 of the flu and other infectious diseases.  So say hello to
 the walking dead, formerly part of the cast of a television
 series on AMC.

Why are Republicans doing all this?  Because Republicans want
to take away access to affordable health care from every American.
