It looks like this shutdown is "stealth sequestration". They are actually drowning the government just like Norquist wants. Most GOPPERS think they will be rewarded for their behavior. A lot of them are in hiding and really won't listen to the phone calls, emails and protests. So you can forget about that option. Their minds seem to be made up.
