Rep. Kelly Demands Action & Answers from President Obama to Stop Ebola Virus

Statement

U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) issued the following statement today after sending a letter to President Obama urgently requesting information regarding the administration's handling of the recent Ebola virus outbreak and details of a comprehensive strategy to stop the virus from affecting Americans.

Statement by Rep. Kelly:

"This is a Paul Revere moment for the American people. Every citizen from coast to coast should be alert, informed, and totally engaged in our nation's fight to thwart this disease. The potentially catastrophic threat posed by Ebola cannot be underestimated. Americans have every reason to be alarmed and should not hesitate to hold our federal government accountable for the actions it takes -- and neglects to take. It is the government's first and most fundamental Constitutional duty to protect its citizens from harm. The time for the president to take strong, competent, and decisive action is now. When a house is burning, the sooner the water starts pouring, the better. The same goes for this virus. This is not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue -- it is a challenge to all Americans that must be matched before it's too late."
