To: Rep. Jimmy Panetta (CA-20) and The United States House of Representatives
Recall Speaker of the House John Boehner
With the recent government shutdown over Obamacare--a move that the majority of Americans agree is no way to negotiate--John Boehner has shown that he has no regard for the will of the American people. By putting the whims of extremist Tea Party Republicans before the needs of the nation, Mr. Boehner has betrayed us all and is actively damaging our economy and future.
We cannot let this happen. Let's send a strong message to those who would play games with the fate of the entire country by removing Mr. Boehner from public office.

Why is this important?
We all have a stake in this: if our country's credit rating is downgraded yet again due to foolish Tea Party game-playing, our entire economy could potentially crash again despite how far we've come since 2008.
Speaker Boehner has the votes he needs to end the shutdown, but refuses to behave like a responsible adult and elected official. If his goal is obstruction to the point that government cannot function at all, we shouldn't be paying him for a job that he isn't doing.
