Rep. Barletta: Stop holding the country hostage!

From the government shutdown to the debt ceiling, Tea Party Republicans have wreaked enough havoc on our country. Stop holding the country hostage to further your political gains; vote on a clean budget resolution and raise the debt ceiling without demanding cuts to Social Security, Obamacare, or any other vital programs.

Why is this important?

It's time to end this. If you can't keep the government running, then you and the rest of Congress should not be paid either.
