This should make you angry:

Organizing for Action

They actually did it.

Because an extreme group of House Republicans refused to pass a real budget, the federal government has shut down.

These aren't just games. Speaker Boehner is letting one faction of one party in one chamber of Congress sabotage our economy. They shut down the government, and now some of them are ready to push us past the brink by refusing to do something every American does -- pay their bills.

If this makes you angry, that's because it should. This behavior from some Republicans in Congress is as irresponsible as it gets.

This fight just got a whole lot more real and a whole lot more urgent -- right now, we need to know who's going to help hold these Republicans accountable. Say you will:

P.S. -- If you're looking for somewhere to direct your frustration online, there's only one man who can stand up to this irresponsible behavior -- that's John Boehner. Tweet at him right now, and let him know you're holding him responsible.
