Organizing for Action
Naresh --

John Boehner knows better than this.

All the talk of shutting down the government over Obamacare? He knows it's reckless, he knows it won't work, and -- worse -- he knows it's not what the American people want.

He's been around the block -- he even helped shut down the government once before in his 25 years in the House. (That was an epic failure.)

He knows what a shutdown would mean for our economy -- it would keep hundreds of thousands of people from going to work, not to mention potential disruptions to Social Security, student loans, veterans benefits, small business loans, and hundreds of other programs.

Right now, he's toying around with letting another shutdown happen -- and the only explanation is that he thinks he can get away with it.

Add your name, and tell John Boehner you've had enough of these political games.

What's embarrassing for John Boehner is that he has the power to prevent us from heading down the path to shutdown -- and yet he can't stand up to the most extreme members of his party.

These House Republicans think making a political point about Obamacare is worth letting the government shut down -- it might rile up the base, but it's no way to govern.

The only way they'll be forced to straighten up is if John Boehner feels the pressure to do the right thing and help pass a smart budget.

We're running out of time -- join the fight today:
