Reopening the U.S. Government?

Is your Congress Representative on this list?

By Melanie Nathan, October 13, 2013.

Well some members of the U.S. Congress want to work for the American people.

At least 186 members of the U.S. House of Representatives  have signed a special petition that would force a vote on reopening the federal government.

The lawmakers have signed a discharge petition, a procedural maneuver that only needs the signatures of a majority of House members and no action by the Republican leadership. GOP House Speaker John Boehner refuses to allow lawmakers to vote on a straightforward temporary spending bill that would keep the government operating.

If you want the Government to open and your member of Congress is not on this list – call their office and tell them to get to get back to work.- a good start would be to sign this motion.

Looks like most are Democrats. Can anyone spot a Republican? Please report back.
