We have six days until the drop-dead date for raising the nation's debt ceiling. There have been budget plans aplenty jockeying for support in recent weeks. There was the Gang of Six plan, the Harry Reid plan, the Mitch McConnell plan, the John Boehner plan part one, ad today Washington waits for Boehner, the sequel. During President Barack Obama's national address on Monday evening, he asked Americans to make their voices heard on the stalemate debate. Moments later, congressional websites were jammed. A memo from the Capitol call center said telephone circuits at Congress were "near capacity" due to the high volume of incoming calls. At the peak, House offices received a combined 40,000 calls in an hour - twice the typical number. We want to take your calls on this, too. Have you contacted your representatives in Washington yet? Would you urge them to compromise or hold their position? How passionate are you about the issue?
