*In 1979, the Iranian government took 52 Americans hostage. President Carter called the hostages "victims of terrorism and anarchy," adding that "the United States will not yield to blackmail." Ted Koppel and ABC News started a nightly feature "America Held Hostage" including the number of days the hostages had been imprisoned. The standoff lasted 444 days.

On September 28, 2013, GOP anarchists took 316 million Americans hostage. On November 4, 2014, 499 days from Tuesday, October 1, 2013, we can vote the hostage takers out of office and free the American people. And on January 4, 2015, 463 days from today, the United States government will again be free to ... govern.

I don't teach math but I know some people who do...Their calculators put that at a billion dollars every 3 or 4 days. A trillion dollars is a 1000 billion...

$300 billion or so a year, a trillion every three years, all those zeros.

Don't you wish you could toss a couple o' billion away just to overthrow the government. For some with better tax breaks than you or I, that isn't too much to risk...

Think about it...it is about our lives, not just a game some rich folk are fooling around with...
