I want them to know, I read the stories you share with me. These are our fellow Americans. These are the people who sent us here to serve. And I know that Republicans in the House of Representatives are hearing the same kinds of stories, too. As I made clear to them this week, there's only one way out of this reckless and damaging shutdown: pass a budget that funds our government, with no partisan strings attached. The Senate has already done this. And there are enough Republican and Democratic votes in the House of Representatives willing to do the same, and end this shutdown immediately. Unfortunately, the far right of the Republican Party won't let Speaker Boehner give that bill a yes-or-no vote. Take that vote. Stop this farce. End this shutdown now. The American people don't get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their job. Neither does Congress. They don't get to hold our democracy or our economy hostage over a settled law.有企业主眼看着他们与政府的合同被束之高阁,还要担忧让员工离职。我希望让你们知道,你们的信我都已经读过。这些都是我们的同胞。他们是选择我们到这里来为人民服务的人。我知道众议院的共和党人也在亲身经历着同样的事情。正如我本周明确表示的一样,对于当前这种不计后果和造成巨大伤害的政府关门现状只有一条出路:通过没有任何附加条件的预算法案为政府提供资金。参议院已经完成了这项工作。而且众议院也有大量共和党人和民主党人同意这么做,以尽快结束这种政府关门现状。但共和党的极右派分子并不想让约翰?博纳议长同意对此进行投票表决。事不宜迟,终止闹剧,现在就结束政府关闭吧。美国人民不能为换取他们正常的工作而支付勒索赎金。国会也是。他们不能因为一部既定法律就以我们的民主制度或经济发展为要挟。
