While the Republicans are trying to make hay about the closure of the WWII memorial--which, by the way, they caused--there are more serious matters on Indian Reservations.
The government closure has cut off food aid. This is not some photo op for some Republican House members, this is food for hungry children.
Go to <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/14/us/pulling-aid-away-shutdown-deepens-indians-distress.html?_r=0> to read about this travesty. Not that the House Tea Party Caucus cares--their members don’t represent Indians.
It is sad what the republicans are doing to the people who need help. I guess there isn't a good photo op for Ted Cruz and his ilk in this.
