You're misunderstanding the power of the purse clause. Remember when Newt shut down the govt?

Wouldn't be the first time that I've missed something or got something wrong....

NBD - I wasn't totally sure of what the plan entailed until hearing Teddy Cruz discuss it a few times. Basically the government's "permission" to operate and spend money expires this year, and congress usually rubber stamps a new resolution to allow the governments operations to be funded. What Cruz is trying to do is get a filibuster majority to only pass a resolution which would fund ALL of the government's operations except any funds earmarked for Obamacare. Newt did something similiar in the 90s to -Clinton. The libtards will stomp and should, and have already started calling Ted Cruz a terrorist, the Taliban, and a no-government republican because he's trying to shut down the govt...

But...it can work...if it they refuse to pass the funding the govt, NON-ESSENTIAL services and offices will be forced to close...just like any other weekend. People will still get their SSI/welfare, and what not...though the media will cry otherwise.

This all seems like a gimmick and nobody really cares about the petition, only the $. My congressman does this, senators, all the politicians. They really don't care about the surveys in my opinion. But Obamacare is a wreck and needs to be destroyed. My humble opinion.

This a site endorsed by Ted Cruz, who plugged it himself on Michael Berry's show, and claimed to have gotten it rolling. It is fine.
