Congressman Alan Grayson will deliver this petition to Speaker John Boehner's office before the deadline to raise the debt ceiling. Add your name, and help us end the lunacy.

"Right now, Congress is debating whether the government should shut down, and whether we should default on our national debt. This is lunacy. Congress should focus on solving problems instead of causing them. Representative Alan Grayson has introduced a two-page bill that would fund the government at current levels and raise the debt ceiling for a year. This bill is simple, timely, and just what we need. End the Lunacy."

Support Congressman Grayson andf sign the petition.
Well I signed it - but it wasn't exactly what they want to hear. I'm sure my support won't go to Speaker Boehner.
Dear Speaker John Boehner,
Hold your ground until my registered party, the Democrats, start negotiating and open their eyes to the fact that the majority of Americans are not in favor of Obamacare. We elected them and they seem to have forgotten that. By further putting the majority of the costs due to the President's waivers, on the middle class, they continue to lower our standard of living.

Also, the last section - does that mean there is no debt ceiling until the end of next year? You have got to be kidding me.

That bill does not say to raise the debt ceiling... it says the debt ceiling will not be applicable. That is two totally different things.
This is how politicians operate. Put a claim on the front page and hope people do not figure out the details.
Right.....because a poll of 1,976 people is such a large sample size.
"When asked what their favorite vodka was, 2,000 bourbon drinkers said, "um.....Russian?"
