All exemptions, exceptions, Subsidies and waivers for Senate, House, White House, Labor Unions and any other special interest group should be removed from the health care bill.

Please tell me why should Congress, White House, and Labor Unions get a better deal (Special Treatment) then the average American?

Update: President Obama dropping subsidizes (Special Treatment) for Unions.... Now we need to get rid of the special treatment for certain States, Congress and the White House....

In order for the new Heath Care Program to work everybody has to contribute. No Special Treatment for Unions, Government Workers, and Congress.

The government role is to serve the people not to be above or rule the people. Currently our government is trying to rule the American People.

closed and forced to refund money...

1. If I would have had a reservation I would have told them to keep it.

2. I have been meaning to take a weekend off before my busy season starts. Trust me when I say busy season...I lost 15lbs. last December just working, no diet etc.

Pisgah Inn sounds like a wonderful place to rest, refresh, and plan for the season.

In communist Soviet Union the bosses got cars and vacation homes while the proletariat had to double and triple up just to have a roof over their heads. Sort of like today when the kids remain at home because they can not get jobs and afford a home of their own.

Timberline Lodge Open For Business As Usual During Government Shutdown

There has been some confusion, so we’ll get right to the point. Your visit to Timberline Lodge will not be affected by the current government shutdown. Timberline is operated by a private concessionaire, RLK and Company. Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark, but it is not in a National Park. It is business as usual here folks. Come on up and enjoy!

Just so everyone knows, if you have reservations here and you cancel or we are not able to open back up we will refund all deposits to the card on file in full no penalties or fees at all.

Today is Sunday October 06,2013,
To all of our friends,
We have ceased operations.I am furious all over again. Rangers are guarding our parking lot 24/7 keeping visitors out. It is downright scary. What the heck is going on and how are we all allowing it? My great employees are the ones being hurt. We live in a free country? Really? I call for action now. Enough is enough. DID I MENTION THE BLUERIDGE PARKWAY IS OPEN.OPEN! ONLY THE PISGAH INN A PRIVATE BUSINESS IS CLOSED. WE WOULD HAVE PAID OVER $30,000 INTO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THIS MONTH ALONE. VISITORS ARE DRIVING BY, BUT CANNOT ENTER OUR PARKING LOT. WHY ARE YOU NOT TAKING A STAND? ASK YOURSELF.

Please know that everything we did and are doing is based on our vision....”To ensure that every guest and visitor has a positive experience and memory from their association/visit with Pisgah Inn.”
That was our rationale. No other agenda or hidden purpose played any role in our actions.
Oh, we appreciate all of your support. .

Glad it is getting some coverage. If people find this a bit unbelievable - and deplorable they may just eventually catch on.

Note that when private companies run things, things stay open.

Not knowing their political leaning, if any, this is starting to look something like the IRS targeting of conservatives.

It's not going to "work" under any circumstances whatsoever.

It can't - unless we've figured out how to defy things like math and nature.

Let’s rename our southern border the Mexican-American War Memorial, so Obama will put a fence around it.
