Is Boehner bluffing?


  Jim --

Boehner’s bluffing.

Yesterday, Boehner said he won’t take President Obama’s advice and put a clean bill to re-open the government on the House floor. Why not? Because he says "there are not the votes in the House" to pass it.

More than 20 House Republicans have already said they’d join House Democrats to pass a clean funding bill. So there are only two possibilities now:
  1. Those 20 Republicans who say they’d support a clean bill to re-open the government are lying.
  2. Boehner doesn’t want to put a bill on the House floor because he knows it would pass, the government would re-open, and he would have to face the wrath of Ted Cruz and the Tea Party.
Either way, the Speaker of the House owes the American people a vote to re-open the government. Will you sign our #DemandAVote petition today?
