Dear Congressman Bentivolio:
Like much of the country, I am gravely concerned over the government shutdown and particularly disheartened at the stalemate over the already passed Affordable Care Act. I would like to tell you my story, so that you can know firsthand how valuable and essential the Affordable Care Act is.
I'm 28-years-old and have been permanently disabled since being born with spina bifida. Thusly, I am confined to a wheelchair and have been medically challenged my whole life. For the past several years, I have unemployed due to continued complications from my disability including: severe nerve pain, major infections, pancreatitis and several major abdominal surgeries. Fortunately, I’ve been attached to my father’s private insurance plan but I know that other disabled and diseased citizens are not as lucky.
As I head toward an independent future, I am faced with the challenge of securing my own private insurance. As you can imagine, this is incredibly difficult in light of my pre-existing condition. I have worked really hard to achieve financial independence and success against pendulum of recurring medical challenges the past several years.
Congressman, I am simply a young lady who is diligently trying to overcome obstacles to pursue my personal and professional dreams. I have had career positions with private benefits that I have had to surrender to due my health. I have won major competitions in my field and have lost the opportunity to claim the award and reap the boost in my career due to a seizure that landed me in the hospital. I tell this story not to illicit sympathy for myself, but to directly demonstrate the talent and efforts people like me put forward to gain stable employment.
I believe that President Obama intended to assist hard-working and persistent individuals such as myself. Be it disease or disability, I am trying to provide a voice for many Americans trying to achieve independence and succeed entirely on the shoulders of the private sector. When the Affordable Care Act passed - I knew it would be life-changing for me as well as others in my position.
As a congressman, I am strongly urging you to appeal to fellow members of your party to cease the stalemate over the Affordable Care Act and support the President in this matter. I believe I am exactly the type of person President Obama is intending to assist with this new law and it is my sincere hope that you too would help ease one of the many burdens I carry moving forward. Thank you, for taking the time to read this letter and imaging yourself in my "seat". I sincerely hope that you will work with the President and fellow members of congress to end the government shutdown and fund the Affordable Care Act.
Best Regards,
Christina Johns

As I head toward an independent future, I am faced with the challenge of securing my own private insurance. As you can imagine, this is incredibly difficult in light of my pre-existing condition. I have worked really hard to achieve financial independence and success against pendulum of recurring medical challenges the past several years.
Congressman, I am simply a young lady who is diligently trying to overcome obstacles to pursue my personal and professional dreams. I have had career positions with private benefits that I have had to surrender to due my health. I have won major competitions in my field and have lost the opportunity to claim the award and reap the boost in my career due to a seizure that landed me in the hospital. I tell this story not to illicit sympathy for myself, but to directly demonstrate the talent and efforts people like me put forward to gain stable employment.
I believe that President Obama intended to assist hard-working and persistent individuals such as myself. Be it disease or disability, I am trying to provide a voice for many Americans trying to achieve independence and succeed entirely on the shoulders of the private sector. When the Affordable Care Act passed - I knew it would be life-changing for me as well as others in my position.
As a congressman, I am strongly urging you to appeal to fellow members of your party to cease the stalemate over the Affordable Care Act and support the President in this matter. I believe I am exactly the type of person President Obama is intending to assist with this new law and it is my sincere hope that you too would help ease one of the many burdens I carry moving forward. Thank you, for taking the time to read this letter and imaging yourself in my "seat". I sincerely hope that you will work with the President and fellow members of congress to end the government shutdown and fund the Affordable Care Act.
Best Regards,

Dear Congressman King:
Like much of the country, I am gravely concerned over the government shutdown and particularly disheartened at the stalemate over the already passed Affordable Care Act. I would like to tell you my story, so that you can know firsthand how valuable and essential the Affordable Care Act is.
I'm 28-years-old and have been permanently disabled since being born with spina bifida. Thusly, I am confined to a wheelchair and have been medically challenged my whole life. For the past several years, I have unemployed due to continued complications from my disability including: severe nerve pain, major infections, pancreatitis and several major abdominal surgeries. Fortunately, I’ve been attached to my father’s private insurance plan but I know that other disabled and diseased citizens are not as lucky.

I have won major competitions in my field and have lost the opportunity to claim the award and reap the boost in my career due to a seizure that landed me in the hospital. I tell this story not to illicit sympathy for myself, but to directly demonstrate the talent and efforts people like me put forward to gain stable employment.
I believe that President Obama intended to assist hard-working and persistent individuals such as myself. Be it disease or disability, I am trying to provide a voice for many Americans trying to achieve independence and succeed entirely on the shoulders of the private sector. When the Afford Care Act passed - I knew it would be life-changing for me as well as others in my position.
As a senator, I am strongly urging you to appeal to fellow members of your party to cease the stalemate over the Affordable Care Act and support the President in this matter. I believe I am exactly the type of person President Obama is intending to assist with this new law and it is my sincere hope that you too would help ease one of the many burdens I carry moving forward. Thank you, for taking the time to read this letter and imaging yourself in my "seat". I sincerely hope that you will work with the President and fellow members of congress to end the government shutdown and fund the Affordable Care Act.
Best Regards,

Congressman Todd Young, Indiana 9th District
Dear Congressman Young:
Like much of the country, I am gravely concerned over the government shutdown and particularly disheartened at the stalemate over the already passed Affordable Care Act. I would like to tell you my story, so that you can know firsthand how valuable and essential the Affordable Care Act is.
I'm 28-years-old and have been permanently disabled since being born with spina bifida. Thusly, I am confined to a wheelchair and have been medically challenged my whole life. For the past several years, I have unemployed due to continued complications from my disability including: severe nerve pain, major infections, pancreatitis and several major abdominal surgeries. Fortunately, I’ve been attached to my father’s private insurance plan but I know that other disabled and diseased citizens are not as lucky.
As I head toward an independent future, I am faced with the challenge of securing my own private insurance. As you can imagine, this is incredibly difficult in light of my pre-existing condition. I have worked really hard to achieve financial independence and success against pendulum of recurring medical challenges the past several years.

Congressman Phil Gingrey, Georgia 11th District
Dear Congressman Gingrey:

I'm 28-years-old and have been permanently disabled since being born with spina bifida. Thusly, I am confined to a wheelchair and have been medically challenged my whole life. For the past several years, I have unemployed due to continued complications from my disability including: severe nerve pain, major infections, pancreatitis and several major abdominal surgeries. Fortunately, I’ve been attached to my father’s private insurance plan but I know that other disabled and diseased citizens are not as lucky.
As I head toward an independent future, I am faced with the challenge of securing my own private insurance. As you can imagine, this is incredibly difficult in light of my pre-existing condition. I have worked really hard to achieve financial independence and success against pendulum of recurring medical challenges the past several years.
I realize that you appreciate the importance of financial success, but I ask you to contemplate if you had the challenges I and many disabled Americans face. For instance, I have worked such long hours in my wheelchair that I had to be hospitalized with medical complications and surrender my position in which I was earning $24,000. That being said, I would love to earn $172,000 so that I can readily support myself without government aide and use extra income to donate causes dear to me. Rest assured Congressman Gingrey, that I work whenever possible and I am doing my very best to attain an income threshold that you deem insufficient, but to me would provide not only current security but enough savings for a lifetime of substantial medical expenses.

Like much of the country, I am gravely concerned over the government shutdown and particularly disheartened at the stalemate over the already passed Affordable Care Act. I would like to tell you my story, so that you can know firsthand how valuable and essential the Affordable Care Act is.
I'm 28-years-old and have been permanently disabled since being born with spina bifida. Thusly, I am confined to a wheelchair and have been medically challenged my whole life. For the past several years, I have unemployed due to continued complications from my disability including: severe nerve pain, major infections, pancreatitis and several major abdominal surgeries. Fortunately, I’ve been attached to my father’s private insurance plan but I know that other disabled and diseased citizens are not as lucky.
As I head toward an independent future, I am faced with the challenge of securing my own private insurance. As you can imagine, this is incredibly difficult in light of my pre-existing condition. I have worked really hard to achieve financial independence and success against pendulum of recurring medical challenges the past several years.
Congressman, I am simply a young lady who is diligently trying to overcome obstacles to pursue my personal and professional dreams. I have had career positions with private benefits that I have had to surrender to due my health. I have won major competitions in my field and have lost the opportunity to claim the award and reap the boost in my career due to a seizure that landed me in the hospital. I tell this story not to illicit sympathy for myself, but to directly demonstrate the talent and efforts people like me put forward to gain stable employment.
I believe that President Obama intended to assist hard-working and persistent individuals such as myself. Be it disease or disability, I am trying to provide a voice for many Americans trying to achieve independence and succeed entirely on the shoulders of the private sector. When the Afford Care Act passed - I knew it would be life-changing for me as well as others in my position.
As a congressman, I am strongly urging you to appeal to fellow members of your party to cease the stalemate over the Affordable Care Act and support the President in this matter. I believe I am exactly the type of person President Obama is intending to assist with this new law and it is my sincere hope that you too would help ease one of the many burdens I carry moving forward. Thank you, for taking the time to read this letter and imaging yourself in my "seat". I sincerely hope that you will work with the President and fellow members of congress to end the government shutdown and fund the Affordable Care Act.
Best Regards,
Christina Johns

As I head toward an independent future, I am faced with the challenge of securing my own private insurance. As you can imagine, this is incredibly difficult in light of my pre-existing condition. I have worked really hard to achieve financial independence and success against pendulum of recurring medical challenges the past several years.
Congressman, I am simply a young lady who is diligently trying to overcome obstacles to pursue my personal and professional dreams. I have had career positions with private benefits that I have had to surrender to due my health. I have won major competitions in my field and have lost the opportunity to claim the award and reap the boost in my career due to a seizure that landed me in the hospital. I tell this story not to illicit sympathy for myself, but to directly demonstrate the talent and efforts people like me put forward to gain stable employment.
I believe that President Obama intended to assist hard-working and persistent individuals such as myself. Be it disease or disability, I am trying to provide a voice for many Americans trying to achieve independence and succeed entirely on the shoulders of the private sector. When the Afford Care Act passed - I knew it would be life-changing for me as well as others in my position.
As a congressman, I am strongly urging you to appeal to fellow members of your party to cease the stalemate over the Affordable Care Act and support the President in this matter. I believe I am exactly the type of person President Obama is intending to assist with this new law and it is my sincere hope that you too would help ease one of the many burdens I carry moving forward. Thank you, for taking the time to read this letter and imaging yourself in my "seat". I sincerely hope that you will work with the President and fellow members of congress to end the government shutdown and fund the Affordable Care Act.
Best Regards,
Christina Johns
Congressman Gary Miller, California 31st District
Dear Congressman Miller:
Like much of the country, I am gravely concerned over the government shutdown and particularly disheartened at the stalemate over the already passed Affordable Care Act. I would like to tell you my story, so that you can know firsthand how valuable and essential the Affordable Care Act is.
I'm 28-years-old and have been permanently disabled since being born with spina bifida. Thusly, I am confined to a wheelchair and have been medically challenged my whole life. For the past several years, I have unemployed due to continued complications from my disability including: severe nerve pain, major infections, pancreatitis and several major abdominal surgeries. Fortunately, I’ve been attached to my father’s private insurance plan but I know that other disabled and diseased citizens are not as lucky.
