Speaker Boehner: Who's Speaker of the House anyway? It seems like Sen. Ted Cruz is trying to take your job (and succeeding). Take your Speaker's gavel back from him and take some control over your caucus. Sign the Petition

Someone really needs to press Speaker of the House John Boehner about why House Republicans are taking their marching orders from a Texas Senator.

The government shutdown, largely orchestrated by Tea Party leader Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, is proceeding with House Republicans following Sen. Cruz’s playbook to the letter, offering up all kinds of cockamamie piecemeal funding bills instead of just simply agreeing to fund the government -- like the American people overwhelmingly want them to do.

One GOP Congressman said, “It's like the lemming caucus."*

It looks like someone -- not even a House member -- stole Speaker Boehner’s gavel.

It looks as though there has been some sort of bloodless coup in the House and Boehner is just Speaker in name only.

Sen. Ted Cruz’s doomsday cult -- formerly known as the House Republican caucus -- has shut down the government, holding vital services and hundreds of thousands of jobs hostage. They’re threatening to do the same with America’s credit and default on our debts.

Tell Speaker Boehner: Grow some guts and take back your gavel from Sen. Ted Cruz.

Americans demand and deserve better.
