What does matter is the rule. Democrats will not support the rule. The minority party never does. The question becomes whether there are enough Republican votes for the rule. If your Republican congressman votes for the rule, that congressman is enabling passage of a continuing resolution that spends massive amounts of money and pays for President Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty.
Call your congressman today and tell him to oppose not just the continuing resolution, but the rule as well. Defeating the rule is key and far too many members of congress put party loyalty ahead of the nation when it comes to supporting these rules.
So the keystone of your strategy is a government shutdown?
Erick “vote for the R” Erickson is as complicit as John Boehner.
No one has mentioned this fact: there will be no important legislation passed by Congress in 2016, an election year. The House is getting ready to pass a CR that will take us thru 2015. The Republicans are throwing away the power of the purse for the next 2 years. The CR that takes us to Sept 2015 must be stopoed.

Yeah, good suggestion.
The best suggestion in fact.
But, of course, our Reps still must also be held responsible if they re-elect Boehner Speaker.
