If you had the chance to say something directly to Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ-04), one of the

cosponsors of the new bill to defund The ACA aka "Obamacare" that could cause the government to be shut down, what would you say or ask?

I am going to be speaking to him about his bill on Saturday morning, the conversation to be played on my show on Sunday and Monday

That's what I would like to know.

Obtain a few random phone numbers to call and ask them directly. Over the air.

My guess he's just an asshole who wants to get into the trough of money.

Ask him if he approves of the pig Arpaio.

legislators have family members who have gone without healthcare coverage because of preexisting conditions or because they did not have access to employer provided healthcare plans and couldn't afford the policies on their own. Ask him how many deaths and how much suffering he can tolerate if healthcare is not more readily available. Is it moral to do more harm to others in his sensibilities?

On a lighter note, ask him if he is allowing us to choose the form of our destruction.

Noting that the guy is a dentist--one of the healing professions. Yeah, how does that oath work for him.
