People need to get on twitter. The war is being waged there. Let Boehner know your opinion. We have to keep the pressure on him.

Boehner hopes debt deal could hit House floor by Wednesday View Photo Gallery — Debt-limit debate continues as clock ticks down: Negotiations have appeared to whipsaw from a fallback plan that would raise the debt ceiling but do little to control future borrowing to an ambitious, but complicated, bipartisan strategy for raising taxes and cutting cherished health and retirement programs. * Smaller Text Larger Text Text Size * Print * E-mail * Reprints By Paul Kane, Updated: Friday, July 22, 4:38 PM President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) are close enough to a debt-deficit deal that Boehner told Republican lawmakers Friday that he hoped the deal would come together soon enough for the House to consider by Wednesday of next week, according to GOP staff who were in the room. If all goes according to plan, that time frame would allow Congress to approve an increase in the debt ceiling and an accompanying set of historic spending cuts by July 30 — leaving three full days before the advertised deadline of Aug. 2, when the government could potentially fall into technical default and not be able to pay its bills. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-timeline-for-passing-debt-ceiling-increase/2011/07/22/gIQA2aeuTI_story.html?tid=sm_twitter_washingtonpost
