ONE BILLION DOLLARS and counting = Current Cost of Boehner's Shutdown

[Coyotl]

The counter on MoveOn.org just past the Billion dollar mark.

http://www.moveon.org/costoftheshutdown/

This ONE MAN is not allowing a vote on a Clean CR, and thus is costing taxpayers ONE BILLION dollars already while impeding democracy. There are enough votes in the House to pass a clean CR, but this is not about democracy, it is about extortion.



The Republicans want to get something out of this #GOPshutdown.

Well, they are getting something, THE BLAME!

And we need to place that blame on the person holding the power to put a clean CR to a vote, Rep. John Boehner.

End #Boehnersshutdown now, before #boehnersbillion becomes billions and billions.

2. CREDO-Send John Boehner a pacifier per person who tells him end the shutdown = 100,000 so far

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

SIGN PETITION: http://act.credoaction.com/sign/boehner_pacifier/



We've reached 100,157 of our goal of 150,000.

Petition to Speaker of the House John Boehner:

"Our nation cannot afford to be held hostage by the irresponsible and immature actions of members of your party. As speaker of the House, it's time for you to act like an adult, and call a vote on a clean budget resolution."

3. House Republican Admits To Donors: GOP Had To Shut Down The Government To Please The Tea Party

Though he repeatedly joined with all of his Republican colleagues to force the government shutdown, in a candid moment last month Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) complained that the Tea Party’s influence forced them to do it.

Walden, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (the House GOP’s campaign arm), reportedly told a group of top Republican donors that the Tea Party’s organizational strength meant that Republicans had to shutdown the government and obstruct a debt-ceiling increase.

“Listen,” Walden told them, “We have to do this because of the Tea Party. If we don’t, these guys are going to get primaried and they are going to lose their primary.” .....

4. We need a very visible clock somewhere like Chris Hayes and MSNBC had counting the hours until

shutdown. Our clock needs to show two things: number of days and cost so far. This should be on as many news programs as possible.
