At 12:01 call your congresspeople and demand they pass a clean CR and re-open the government

I will be and reminding them that I will hold them responsible for this. They passed zero jobs bills. They passed zero education or job training bills. They've fought every move to improve the economy. All the GOP-led House has done this session is try to kill Obamacare.

Tim Bishop, NY 1-- no problems with him at all. He's well aware of what's happening and is so good the teabaggers had their muzzle loaders out for him for four years now. As one of the few swing districts in the country, next year his might be the most expensive House race in history. Last year might even have made records.

Same for the two neighboring. I've made calls to the other four districts' offices, and will start again in the morning.

Considering we just lost several thousand homes, dozens of miles of roads, a good chunk of our irrigation system and have leaking oil and gas wells -- in their districts -- they're asking for pink slips.

It's time to Clean the House.

At both their DC and district offices. For many of them, their voicemail boxes weren't accepting new messages. So either a lot of people are calling or they turned it off so they don't need to listen to the complaints.
