• Recall the House
    The American people deserve a congress that will work for them, not against them and will help to resolve the issue with unemployment and underemployment, not send people who ARE employed on un-paid furloughs!!! In light of the recent polls that say that Republicans would lose the election if it happened now, I say we make that a reality for them. Even the threat of a recall might spur a few borderline congressman into reasonable action and get the United States a budget and a spending limit that we deserve, WITH affordable healthcare!

  • Rep. Latham: Stop Playing Politics with Our Economy
    The U.S. will default on its debts if the debt limit, or ceiling, is not increased by Congress before Thursday, Oct. 17. In addition, more and more Americans are being harmed because of the closure of the federal government. Fundamentally, we shouldn’t be using the threat of damage to our economy to move things forward. Congress has important work to do.

  • Responsible Government Petition
    It is critically important that we act now, while the breathtaking irresponsibility of shutting down our democracy over disagreements on unrelated issues is on full display, so that this will never happen again. We cannot afford to allow our government to hold our economy hostage and gamble with the livelihood of all Americans to advance ideological agendas.

  • Rep. Tipton: Do Your Job #EnoughAlready
    Our economy is teetering on the edge of a recession worse than than that of 2008. If Congress can't come to a budget agreement by Oct. 17th the middle class will suffer. Rep. Tipton is beholden to special interests and has forgotten who he works for: the people of Colorado. We need Rep. Tipton to wake up and do his job, which means standing up for hard-working Coloradans who have suffered under wildfires and floods, and passing a clean budget with no strings attached.

  • John Boehner,
    John Boehner is soley responsibilty for the government shut down and choas in our country this week. He knows there are enough votes in the house to pass a clean CR, but refuses to put the billon the floor for a vote. This should not be allowed and "we the people" must force responsibile behavior from our elected officials, by insisting that they abandon the Hassert Rule and put the bill passed and sent over by the Senate to a full house vote today.

    the petition you signed reads: If the government shuts down due to Congress being unable to come to agreements, then furlough their $174,000 (and John Boehner's $223,500) salaries. Here's what John Markosky wrote about it: Congress is willing to furlough their own staffers along with more than 800,000 federal workers, while they suffer no monetary loss at all. If they think it is okay to shut the government down (or not raise the debt ceiling), then they should be the first ones to suffer from it. Click here to start a petition on the same issue to Rep. Stockman, Sen. Cornyn, and Sen. Cruz. Thanks!

  • Tea party Republicans: Stop holding the country hostage!
    The TeaParty has become the most destructive force against our country, affecting so many people struggling in this economy while perpetuating their suffering. They have become the death panels they warned us about.

  • Save the People
    I want the government back in operation, to stop the madness and allow the people to receive what they are entitled to. I am tired of Congress manipulating the welfare of the American people, and causing more damage than good to the citizen.
