I am hopeful that obstructionists in the House of Representatives yield to reason and support the bipartisan Senate plan to end the government shutdown, avoid default, and refocus on economic growth. “For two weeks, the Tea Party faction of the Republican Party has held the American government and economy hostage in a futile attempt to obstruct the Affordable Care Act. This is an unacceptable way to govern. “It’s time for Washington to stop dragging America from one crisis to the next and work together on a bipartisan budget that grows the economy and creates jobs.” BACKGROUND Shea-Porter has worked consistently to end the shutdown and avoid an economic shutdown that would come with default. Last Thursday, she offered a motion to allow a vote on compromise legislation that would end the shutdown and reopen the government. Yesterday, she called on Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) to stop threatening default and work across the aisle on a bipartisan budget. During the shutdown, she also cosponsored legislation which would force House Speaker John Boehner to remove the Members-only gym and spa from his list of “essential” House services. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
