7,000 sign up to deliver trash to Boehner's house
April 8, 2011, 3:44 pm by Christina Wilkie


More than 7,200 people have signed up to attend an event on Saturday via Facebook called "If Boehner shuts down the government I am taking my trash to his house."

The group plans to protest outside the rented Washington brownstone of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in the case of a government shutdown.

The Facebook event claims, "You may know that Washington, DC residents pay taxes but have no voting representation in our Congress. What you may not realize though is that that body also has oversight and control over our city's budget and how we spend our local tax dollars. Many people are mistaking this for a protest over Congress not passing a budget. This isn't about that, but is a result of that. If the Federal Government shuts down Washington DC will not be able to spend money on non-essential services."
