Tea Party Republicans: 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?
Thousands of people are out of work because of this shutdown. People are going hungry. Our economic recovery is threatened. Government officials are not elected to shut down government but to work for the greater good of the people who elected them.
