A rally held Friday to urge Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., to vote to reopen the federal government was quickly countered by those who support the shutdown.

The opposing groups rallied in the parking lot in front of Terry's Omaha office at 11717 Burt St.

A group of about 40 held signs stating, “Shame on Lee Terry” and “No Work No Pay.” A smaller group elsewhere in the lot held pro-Terry signs, including one stating, “I support Lee.”

John Jensen, 68, of Omaha said the U.S. House shouldn't “play games” with paying government workers or jeopardizing Americans' access to government programs.
