We ask, in this letter, for the USNS Comfort, an offshore medical
treatment facility, to be deployed to the island of Puerto Rico. Puerto
Rico only has two hospitals that have been able to restore power, yet
the President looked this weekend the other way. For three major pieces and issues that confront the American people:
healthcare, as it pertains to close to maybe 30 million people that may
lose their services if this failed attempt to repeal and replace
ObamaCare goes through; DACA, impacting over close to a million young
people who go to school, who work, who are part of our future economic
recovery, who are members of the Armed Forces; and the humanitarian
crisis, a new-day Katrina that is about to ensue in Puerto Rico--for
those three issues of great importance to America, our President looked
the other way. He chose to engage in tweets; he chose to insult our local athletes
in an un-Presidential manner; he chose to turn his back on the American
people.
