    Can someone please explain how is this different than domestic terrorism? The country is held hostage by a radicalized few who will stop at nothing to further their own agendas. Stop the shutdown!

    Congress is not putting the interest of the American people in mind and they need to stop all this nonsense. I think if this keeps up the American public will not vote for anyone in Congress they made sure they are still working and getting paid they are thinking only of themselves how sad is this???? I pray God will soften you hearts. Rachel Scholl

    Furlough petition: To negatively impact & place thousands upon thousands of hard working Americans along with their families, into potential Financial Ruin and Chaos is Unconscionable, no matter the level of conviction or contention! There is a Right and a WRONG way to approach differences, but to place the American PEOPLE into such devastation will NEVER be acceptably, the "RIGHT WAY!" As the Tax Rate continues to gain incredible Momentum, & the budget crisis spirals further out of the grasp of feasibility, us as the Voting, hardworking American people, seem to be increasingly disregarded! This is outrageous! This great nation was Built on the premise of NO taxation without representation! Why should OUR elected officials, and supposed "voice for the people" have the RIGHT to strip from us our basic right to PROVIDE! If all government is halted & employes forced into furlough, I strongly feel Congress and our elected officials/representatives should be the FIRST to have their wages HELD in Limbo, as this is an expectation of us Hardworking Citizens !

    Time for the arrogance of the president to stop. This office is not the only branch of our government it is 1/3 of the government according to the constitution. We never asked for Chicago gangster style government, time to man up Mr. Obama

    This government shut down is not helping any of your constituents It is harming our political stance around the world. The Affordable Care Act may need tweaking in the future but lets give it a chance. I urge each of you to work across the aisle and stop this Government Shutdown and avoid yet another debt ceiling crisis.

    I will be voting for new people to replace congress and senate representatives in this mid term election. I can't believe that anyone wants to block peoples right to health care. Everyone should have health care, everyone has to have car insurance. Open the government back up and stop this fighting and arguing. This is ridiculous, Boehner said they won't stop because they are winning, well I hope everyone votes this mid-term election and votes out everyone in the congress and the senate and they will find out if they won or not.

    The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Stop trying to violate it. We are a Nation of Laws. If the law is bad, the people will be up in arms about it, and you will then have all the power and support you need to change it. You are representatives of the American People. Do your job. The purpose of Congress is not to stop the government, but to make it work better. Shutting down the government risks our global economy, our businesses and our well being. Congress has no natural right to do this. You appear to most of us as the worst of Fat Cat Politicians and will go down in history as some of the most hated representatives ever elected. Is that the legacy you want to leave. Do your damn job. You, unlike the rest of the deserving government employees, get paid to do the People's work. Not to make sure the People's work does not get done.

    I hope that all these morons in Congress get voted out like they deserve in the mid-term elections which I'm pretty sure will happen now with all their transgressions. Let's remove all their benefits, put in place term limits and kick this ineffective group out! What corrupt idiots they are.

    Co Both sides can declare victory by appearing together to announce that simultaneously the government is opening and negotiations are starting to not default. Yes this will require passing Obamacare. If a concession is required then the Democrats should give on the medical device piece. It is time to start acting like adults. And the President must lead that diplomatic charge. To get this to happen. Now, please, gentlemen.

    The founding of this government was not into a rule of law that held them hostage to manipulative tactics like this. Don't you feel ashamed? Ben Franklin is rolling in his grave wondering what happened to the "pursuit and the right to happiness". Health care is not an option to play with.

    If Congress works for the people and we want our government to work then why isn't it working? Sounds to me like Congress should simply let the people vote!
