    Putting hundred of thousands of government workers out of work and services being left unpaid for is unacceptable. Congress needs to do their jobs running our government which is what the taxpayers pay them to do.

    Thanks Republicans - I'm a federal employee charged with cleaning your air, water and land. Thanks for three pay freezes, 11 furlough days and now an indefinite furlough. You will never again get a vote from me, family or friends.

    Our country is broke, because it seems as though the U.S. is helping out every country in the world - instead of taking care of our "backyard" first!

    I'm not even of age to "begin thinking about politics and voting," and I can already see that this is beyond ridiculous and corrupt. Okay, so the government is shut down due to funds, but congress is continued to get paid? I don't think so. How about we cut that instead of cutting national parks. I haven't had much experience in America, but I already want to leave. I once had hope for this country, but it turns out it was false hope. If all we can achieve in this government is constant bickering between to opposing political powers and greed for money, then count me out.

    The shutdown is not unconstitutional. It is just incredibly stupid and pigheaded. There are people in the way of progress and the betterment of America and they are called the 'tea party'.

    This is absolutely ridiculous. You need to bite the bullet, accept this, and get a budget passed. Affordable Healthcare is a law now, supported as constitutional by the Judicial branch. What the GOP is doing right now is treasonous in its unconstitutionality, and it's making everyone suffer.

    The law has been passed. Please do your job represent the people and put an end to this shut down that all its doing is hurting us. Affordable Health Care is needed and as a voting citizen am proud of my decision to vote for our president and his healthcare act. Playing politics is hurting our country not helping.

    Millions of American's are paying the price for Republican's acting totally irresponsible. Political terrorism? Really? Pass the budget and fight about the Heath Care after, Your losing supporters every day this goes on and every American I've spoken to agrees. Tell Mr. Boehner this is NOT what Americans want.

    This is madness! I work in a middle school and have students more mature than this. Let these personal vendettas go. You are making the entire party look bad. If you are willing to let hundreds of thousands (and our economy) decline because of this, you do not deserve to remain in your positions. This is not service. It's ego. Shame on you.

    Stop this, now! It's childish and petty! The people HAVE ALREADY VOTED FOR THIS. Give up. You are wasting tax dollars. Additionally, NOT ONE OF YOU SHOULD BE PAID if you are willing to prevent hard-working Americans from working. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. You make me sad to be an American.
