Speaker Boehner - take your gavel back.

Who's Speaker of the House anyway? It seems like Sen. Ted Cruz is trying to take your job (and succeeding). Take your Speaker's gavel back from him and take some control over your caucus.

Why is this important?

Shutdown leader Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is exercising more control over the House Republican caucus (and thus the agenda of the entire House of Representatives) than Speaker of the House John Boehner. Speaker Boehner needs to take back his gavel, take some control, and stop letting some Tea Party Senator use the House to hold America hostage to his extremist demands.
