Joe: Do one thing to help end the shutdown

Organizing for Action
Joe --

Today, we're entering week three of the government shutdown.

And, in two days, we'll be facing a full economic shutdown if Congress fails to pay our bills, sending the country into default.

A lot of Americans are outraged -- and they should be. That's why today, we're asking folks to do at least one thing to speak out.

If you're on Twitter, we're using the hashtag #EndThisNow -- tweet right now and tell Speaker Boehner to reopen the government, pay our bills, and get back to work.

Tweet Now

You don't have to stop there -- we put together a tool so you can keep tweeting to put the pressure on. If you're struggling to put together the perfect tweet, we've got you covered with a number of ideas.

I'll be honest: I don't know what it'll take to finally get John Boehner to stand up to the Tea Party Republicans and do the right thing.

But I know that with every day that goes by -- 15 days and counting -- more and more Americans are feeling the effects of the shutdown. Economists say defaulting on our debt could send us back into a recession and destroy the hard-earned progress we've made over the past five years.

The frustration Americans are feeling is turning into exasperation and outrage -- our lawmakers in Washington need to see it. This isn't a game.

Tweet now, and keep tweeting to tell John Boehner and the Tea Party Republicans to #EndThisNow:
