I just looked in the mirror and saw that I had cut off my nose to spite my face.

As I fainted to the floor and was attempting to rise up I realized I was experiencing a terrible nightmare.

I’ve been receiving so many calls and letters since I started helping to shut down the 2023 United States government that I disconnected my phone and hid my mail in-box.

Glancing at the calendar, Sept. 26, I realized it is not too late. I have hurriedly dressed and rushed here to try to convince all of you that we are headed toward a disaster if we allow the government to shut down.
