It’s a fact: There’s a group of House Republicans actually willing to sabotage our economy to make a political point.
Right now, they’re refusing to pass a budget by the September 30th deadline — letting the government shut down — unless Congress decides to defund all of Obamacare, too.
The most cynical part is that they’re willing to risk delaying new Social Security benefits and student loans, military pay, and other government services — all in the name of re-fighting a political battle they lost three years ago.
Only House leaders have the power to stand up to these bullies and work on a smart budget.
When it comes to describing this kind of behavior, words fail me. Under other circumstances, I might call this a tantrum — but that doesn’t begin to approach how high these stakes are.
Shutting down our government is not a rhetorical bargaining chip or a valid policy position. It’s a refusal to govern. It’s willful ignorance of the government’s role in our day-to-day life. It’s dangerous, and it threatens our entire economy.
So with 17 days left to pass a budget, it’s time to say enough already.
Add your name and tell House leaders to stand up to the extreme members of their party — pass a budget now:
Thanks,
Jon

New Delhi: Odisha emerged as the hottest investment destination for

Through a dozen projects funded by bank loans, Odisha managed to
get investors to commit to around Rs. 53,000 crore investment, a 27%
share of all-India investments. In contrast, Maharashtra is expected
to get investment of around Rs 21,400 crore in 70 projects, or 10.9%
of the pie. Punjab was the other surprise, moving to the third spot

Modi BJP’s PM candidate
14092013
| |
People glued to the TV to hear the Narendra Modi, strong and popular Gujarat Chief Minister, on Friday named BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls despite opposition from party patriarch L K Advani. Modi style of working which eases the people at large with clutches of lawlessness and redtapism is hope of millions of masses of equality , justice and freedom for all.Can he deliver or be able to be chief excutive rather than be the only eloquent and no ground realties is bigger question but on anointment when he starts his speech with his space of belonging reflects the intention is clear.Many of poltical parties and leader or the ministers are Brilliant but when it comes to IMPLEMENTATION they always Let India Down.Thus India needs a leader who is capable to lead and execute and do not flutter with lame excuses.
Preacher of Hindu nationalist, four days short of his turning 63 years, was anointed at a meeting in New Delhi of the 12-member BJP Parliamentary Board which a sulking Advani skipped.
The mega announcement was made by BJP chief Rajnath Singh after the meeting which was attended by Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj, who too were said to be opposed to Modi’s projection at this juncture but finally toed the majority line.
Accepting the party decision, Modi gave a slogan “nayi soch, nayi ummeed” (new thinking, new hope) and said the BJP will go the 2014 polls with the plank of good governance and development while fighting against corruption and price rise.
He said the country is going through a crisis and BJP would require blessings of people from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Attock to Cuttack so that this situation ends.
Thanking party leaders and NDA allies for their support, the three-time Gujarat Chief Minister said will work tirelessly to ensure that BJP wins the 2014 elections.
Advani touched a sour note by releasing an angry letter written by him to the party chief almost at the same time when announcement about Modi was made.
“This afternoon when you had come to my residence to inform me about the Parliamentary Board meeting, I had said something about my anguish as also my disappointment over your style of functioning,” he said in the two-para letter.
“I had told you that I will think whether I should share my thoughts with other Board members or not. Now I have decided that it is better that I do not attend today’s meeting,” he wrote.
Soon after the announcement, Modi met Advani to seek his blessings. During the 30-minute meeting, Advani obliged him but also asked him about the letter written by suspended IPS officer D G Vanzara who quit service while attacking Modi.
Advani initially appeared willing to attend the Board meeting but changed his mind at the last minute.
Rajnath Singh, who made the announcement after hectic back-to-back meetings, said the decision was unanimous and taken keeping in view the popular mood and aspirations.
He said it was done as per the party’s tradition where the Parliamentary Board, the highest decision-making body of the party, takes the decision.
Modi thanked party leadership and workers for reposing faith in him. He also expressed gratitude to NDA allies for supporting him through telephone calls.
Wishing to rise to the people’s expectations, Modi expressed confidence that the people of the country will also repose faith in his leadership and the “new hope” it has provided.
Rajnath Singh said the decision was taken keeping in view the mood and aspirations of the people. He said the decision was taken “unanimously”.
On Advani’s protest, he said he is a respected leader and will continue to be respected. “We will keep seeking his guidance,” he said.
Before the Parliamentary Board meeting, Gadkari met Advani to persuade him on Modi’s name. Swaraj and Ananth Kumar also joined the meeting.
Advani had conveyed his reservations about announcing Modi’s name at this juncture.
He had suggested that the BJP chief ministers should be consulted on the issue and the party should wait till the forthcoming Assembly elections to Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi are over.
Advani was of the view that making Modi the Prime Ministerial candidate will put issues like price rise and corruption- on which the BJP has attacked the Congress- on the backburner and make the controversial leader the issue.
Joshi and Swaraj, who too were said to be having reservations to Modi’s projection at this juncture, changed their stand to join the majority.
