Obama for America

John Boehner could stop this right now



Right now -- this minute -- Speaker Boehner could hold a vote and end the government shutdown.

Instead, the Tea Party Republicans who got us here in the first place are still in charge -- and now they're threatening to take us past the brink to an economic shutdown. Like all of us, Congress has bills to pay, and some extremists think they can use that as a way to tear down Obamacare.

We've seen these kinds of threats before -- and we watched them actually go through with it.

OFA isn't sitting back and waiting -- we're about to go up on the air with the hardest-hitting TV ad we've ever made. Everyone needs to know what is happening on John Boehner's watch -- and we all need to speak out to help stop it.

Watch our new ad, then add your name to join the growing majority of Americans who are saying "enough already!"

The debate over the debt ceiling is yet another manufactured crisis that Congress is subjecting the American people to. It used to be that Congress, like the rest of the American people, paid their bills without controversy. So much of the global economy depends on that.

We've come a long way to get our economy back on track -- now, John Boehner is letting an extreme group get away with putting it all at risk, all because they don't like Obamacare.

This isn't how our elected representatives should act.

We all need to say "enough already" -- and keep saying it.

Watch this ad -- then tell the House Tea Party Republicans and John Boehner we're not going to let them get away with sabotaging the economy:
