This is it. The Tea Party Republicans are threatening to shut down the entire government on Friday unless we surrender to their outrageous demands.
Their ransom list? Repealing health care reform, defunding Planned Parenthood, silencing NPR, slashing public education...they even want to cut assistance for homeless veterans or else they'll shut down the government.
The world is watching our next move. Will we cave to the Tea Party's disgraceful act of political extortion or will we fight back with the full force of our grassroots strength?
Contribute $3 or more to the GOP Accountability Fund right now to help us raise $50,000 in grassroots contributions by Friday's deadline so we can hold Speaker Boehner and his Tea Party fringe Republicans immediately accountable for shutting down the government.
These Tea Party Republicans are redefining chutzpah.
They're threatening to close the government down unless Congress enacts their radical agenda that will cost 700,000 American jobs. But this fight isn't just about numbers.
It's about keeping teachers in our classrooms, cops on our streets, medical researchers in our labs, and preserving housing assistance for homeless vets.
Contribute $3 or more to the GOP Accountability Fund right now to help us raise $50,000 in grassroots contributions by Friday's deadline so we can hold Speaker Boehner and his Tea Party fringe Republicans immediately accountable for shutting down the government.
The radical Tea Party fringe thinks they can blackmail us into giving in to their agenda.
Instead, with the eyes of the world watching, let's take them on with everything we've got.
