FOUR BILLION DOLLARS and Counting = Current Cost of the GOPShutDown

The counter on MoveOn.org is approaching the FOUR BILLION DOLLAR mark.
The Republicans have no problem sticking the American People with the bill for their government shutdown.

SIGN UP = Join the campaign now to make sure Tea Party and House Republicans pay the price for toying with our country's economic security.

John Boehner and Republican leadership is not allowing a vote on a Clean CR, and thus are costing taxpayers FOUR BILLION dollars and counting.
There are enough votes in the House to pass a clean CR, but this is not about democracy, it is about political extortion and financial terrorism.


#GOPShutDown


The Republicans want to get something out of their #GOPshutdown. Well, they are getting something, THE BLAME!

Including the Democrats who let it get to this point.

I find it totally amazing that the Republicans, when a minority, control Congress, but the Democrats, when a majority, can't.

Won't happen. Can't happen. You are misfocused and need to consider a real solution.
