I just wrote my two Senators as follows:
Senator "Ted" Cruz needs to be at the least censured, and preferably expelled from the Senate.
There may also be other members of the Senate who need punishment for their roles in perpetrating this extortion upon the government using the shutdown and threat of default as the threat.
This needs to happen before the next deadline for a CR or debt limit to prevent a repeat of the extortion by these members. It also needs to be done to set the precedent that such behavior is beyond the pale for a Senator.
Sincerely,
I suggest that those who feel the same way contact their own Senators.
We should also make the same request of our Representatives regarding the extortionists in the House.
