We'll send John Boehner a pacifier for every person who tells him to end the shutdown

John Boehner can do two things with the thousands of pacifiers we hope to send him:

1. He can see them as a message from an overwhelming number of Americans that it's time for him to act like an adult, and stand up to the irresponsible and childish behavior among his party that is putting our nation in serious jeopardy.

2. He can hand them out to the members of his party, as a message that members of Congress must stop acting like spoiled brats. Their actions have consequences, and the longer they keep the government shut down at the hands of their petulant and reckless tantrum, the greater those consequences become -- both for their jobs and for our nation.

Boehner has the Republican votes he needs to pass a clean budget resolution and end the Republican tantrum which has shut down our government.1 All he needs to do is call a vote.

But I'm doing the same for this one. I'm sure nothing wrong was intended by this poster; sometimes it's all too easy to miss the very first OP, especially when you're as excited about something as this makes me. That's what I signed on for, to post an OP! Just so word gets around is fine. Everyone put it on your FB pages too.
