Dear John,

When Representatives Kevin McCarthy and Richard Hanna admitted the Benghazi investigations were part of the Republican plan to discredit Secretary Hillary Clinton, I thought it would bring an end to the partisan games - I was wrong.

Today’s Congressional hearing serves as another reminder that Republicans are more interested in playing politics than working for the American people. Let’s tell ‘em what we think.  I need you to sign this, which will directly send a message to stop this Benghazi witch hunt: bit.ly/BenghaziWitchHuntAgainstHillaryMustStop

The Benghazi investigation has come at our country’s expense - $4.7 million and 17 months of wasted energy.  That’s longer than the Watergate and Iran Contra hearings.  What's worst is we have not seen the end of it: House Republicans approved an unlimited budget (YOUR taxpayer dollars) for another Congressional Benghazi review, even after seven separate reports. 

So while Republicans write themselves a blank check for this witch hunt, REAL issues continue to take a backseat: 

Poverty: almost 1 in 6 households don't know where their next meal will come from.
Education: more than 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and almost 1 in 5 high school graduates can't read at all.
Social Security: close to half of the elderly would be poor without Social Security...and yet Republicans threaten social security privatization.
Enough is enough. It’s time for Congress to get back to work. 

Mike
