The Parkers National parks are for recreation.

National park or bust.

The government should open the parks so we can get in.

Vacation. We can’t get into the park.

Ranger Grainger I work in a national park.

To protect and serve.

I’m a non-essential employee that can’t work. Reopen the government!

Employment. I need to get paid.

Barry A. Bear This is my house.

Only you can prevent forest fires.

Grrrrrr. Food for hibernation.

I can’t get enough trash to eat unless tourists don’t carelessly leave trash around their campsites.

Polly C. Wonk It is what my constituents

want.

E pluribus unum Ted Cruz does not like green eggs and ham…

A congressional agreement.

We can’t/won’t come to a decision until the deadline.

@h8everything I criticize everything.

This comment has been flagged for inappropriate language.

natl parks sux. feds should b paying me.

Who will read my snide comments? The meaner, the better.

The government is too big anyway.

Reid Moore We need to monitor and preserve wildlife.

To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…

I really need to monitor the wolf population.

The animals and my dissertation.

My funding was already reduced with sequestration, and now I can’t even get in the park.

Stakeholder Key Idea Tagline What might (s)he say? This is a matter of… Where’s the Rub

Page 13: Government Gridlock

Naming the turns…We can’t get into the park. The park closure kept tourists out and

reduced the amount of money the park took in.

I need to get paid. Some employees are not able to work because of the park closure.

I can’t get enough trash to eat unless tourists don’t carelessly leave trash around their campsites.

Animals were not as close to humans, but they could not eat the food they were so used to obtaining.

We can’t/won’t come to a decision until the deadline. Congress was deadlocked and only filibusters kept senators talking.

The government is too big anyway. Those in opposition used this as a time to voice their opinions that government is too big anyway.

My funding was already reduced, and now I can’t get in the parks

Scientific work was halted due to cuts.
