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?

Republican extremism has impacted me because I feel for all the furloughed workers and their families--they are in an already difficult economy and now have more issues to deal with. It has impacted me because it increases stress and lessens my faith in our leaders.
