The truth is that Speaker Boehner has enough votes -- from Republicans and Democrats -- to end the shutdown right now.
But he's refusing to hold a vote because he's still letting Tea Party Republicans call the shots.
Now is the time to make sure he's hearing -- constantly -- from the majority of Americans who want to see this shutdown end.
So we're trying something new. Head over to John Boehner's Facebook page and deliver him a message: Speaker Boehner, stand up to the Tea Party Republicans who are sabotaging the economy. Just vote.
I'll be honest -- we don't know if this alone is going to change John Boehner's mind. But I can tell you this: His staffers, his supporters, and maybe even Speaker Boehner himself will see your notes.
Even if it raises the pressure just a little bit, it will be worth it. All this week, we're going to make sure the people responsible for this shutdown feel the frustration and urgency that the American people are feeling right now.
And since we all can't head to his office physically, today we're heading to his office's Facebook page to let him know what we think -- you should join in.
Tell John Boehner "enough already" -- just vote and stop sabotaging the economy:
