Let your representatives hear your voice
I agree that the govt shutdown is a bunch of crybabies, but *****ing about it on here does little to alert your elected representatives to how you feel. I encourage all of you to find your representatives and write them short email telling them what you want to do. It is important that you know your full 9 digit zip code to find your Representative.

Done. I took it a step further as well:
Email from me to the President:
"You should be ashamed of yourself. In a time of crisis, true leaders encourage diplomacy and cooperation rather than stonewall. If you don't change, history is going to be very, very unkind to you. Enough people already think that you are a buffoon, and your childish behavior is convincing more and more every day. I am paying you to lead this country, NOT destroy it. Put away your golf clubs, tell your mooching wife to stop wasting my money on lavish waste and get the hell to work. I respect your office, but have ZERO respect for you as a man. You have time to change my mind: Stop acting like a spoiled kid and show some leadership for a change."
Here is the web page: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/su...s-and-comments
Note that they specifically blame "Congress" for the shutdown at the top of the page. Apparently, it's not Bush's fault any more, but it sure as hell can't be Obama's...

My reminder to Obama
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills.
It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
Leadership means that, 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.
America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.
Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

It is time to "Douche" The Whitehouse, And the American Government. These are the Biggest bunch of Fu*kups we have ever had assembled in one place. If America was a great place for you to grow up, it certainly is not for your kids/grandkids.
