The AJC article on Congressional Procedures was eye opening. If 24 republican congressmen are ready to support a
vote for a clean continuing resolution then the majority of Congress could stop
this unreasonable government shutdown and avoid an economic calamity if
the debt ceiling is not raised. All it takes is the courage to stand up
to the radical right wing and the lack of leadership by John Boehner.
If those 24 republicans did break ranks from the party
platform it is likely they will be treated better in the upcoming 2014 election
than if they sit idly by and let the country fail. Isn't that what
representative democracy is all about?
The majority of Americans want this blackmail to stop and
for Congress to do its job to protect our financial standing in the
world. To hold everyone hostage because you don't agree with what was enacted
lawfully, constitutionally, and verified by the Supreme Court Is tantamount to
treason. If the republicans don't back away from this unpatriotic strategy then
it's up to the electorate to start voting for people who really want to do the
best for all of us.
