Tell Boehner: "Go Defund Yourself"

http://leftaction.com/action/tell-boehner-go-defund-yourself

After more than 40 votes to repeal Obamacare, John Boehner and his House Republican caucus have taken their crazed obsession to a new level: They actually passed a bill that forced a government shutdown because Obamacare wasn't defunded.

Conspicuously absent from that bill, however, was a promise that Boehner and the Republicans pushing it would forgo their own salaries in the event of a shutdown.

House Republicans aren't doing their jobs as it is. Why should they still get paid if the rest of the government is shut down?

Send Boehner a message, and demand that House Republicans agree to forgo their salaries during a shutdown, and return any payments made to them.
