RRD:This will be Mr.Boehner's last term as Speaker.Call your Congressman.Tell them that we really did not send them to Washington to permit our country to be destroyed by debt.Tell them that they will be replaced if they vote for anything less than 60 Billion dollars in cuts.This is not about a 30 billion dollar difference.This is about whether the Republican party is going to fight,or surrender.If the GOP leadership is unwilling to "shut down the Government",then they are Peter Keatings.They do not even have the excuse of doing the "politic thing instead of the right thing",since they gained seats during the last shut down & the polls are even more in their favor now.

It was reached in principle Friday evening and Mr. Reid and Mr. Boehner then had to sell the agreement to their members.
