Good for those who have said they will vote YES for a clean CR! Both my congressman, Rob Wittman and Elena’s congressman, Frank Wolf have stated they are now willing to send that clean CR. It only will take 217 votes to reopen the government today. Congressman Bill Young, one of my favorites, has also said yes to the clean CR.
From looking at the math, it appears that John Boehner is simply not being truthful He does have the votes if he adds the republicans noted in the video to the 195 definite democratic yeses,. Boehner, do the math!
This has really gone on too long. Today the VA regional offices will shut down because of additional furloughs. Furthermore, we are only 9 days away from the debt ceiling deadline. The debt ceiling issue absolutely must be resolved. The nation’s economy is at risk. This is not a game of chicken and it cannot be treated like a game.
I would encourage the President to simply bypass congress and do what is necessary to keep our nation afloat. We can’t allow juvenile delinquents to bring this nation to its knees.
