Government Shutdown Over Obamacare

Open email to Sen. Cornyn and Cruz (Texas):

Dear Senators Cornyn and Cruz,
    Apparently there has been some discussion on shutting down the government over the issue of Obamacare. An associate of mine pointed out that last Saturday Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) announced that there would be no government shutdown over Obamacare.
    Good and an obvious move! A government shutdown would be disastrous for the Republican Party. The free-stuff and legitimate entitlement receivers, such as Social Security, pay close attention to their monthly checks or other forms of receipt for their benefits. A government shutdown would create strong animosity and when traced to the Republican Party would result in a heavy loss of Republican votes in forthcoming elections..
    My associate has another suggestion, which you may already be considering. That is, tie in an amendment to defund Obamacare onto any action to increase the national debt. The voting public generally does not pay attention to the national debt.
