Congress's actions are shocking, completely disgusting, and makes me shake with anger. It's all political bullshit, involving parliamentary back and forth... THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ISSUE IS THAT CONGRESS HAS JUST DEFEATED A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN $7BILLION FOR HEALTHCARE COVERAGE FOR 9-11 FIRST TIME RESPONDERS! AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S WORSE, FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS TO GET MONEY TO COVER THE HOSPITAL AND DOCTOR'S BILLS THAT THEY CAN'T PAY CAUSE THEY CAN'T WORK BECAUSE THEIR SICK FOR HEADING TO GROUND ZERO TO SAVE AMERICANS!

THE 9-11 RESPONDERS TO GROUND ZERO ARE HEROES! THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD $7 BILLION 10 YEARS AGO! AND NOW THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE FIGHTING WITH THE LEGAL SYSTEM SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE SECOND NATURE TO APPROVE!

Anthony Weiner, your anger is 100% justified!
