Ron Johnson votes to keep govt. shut down

Last night in the United States Senate, a bipartisan group of senators voted 81-12 in favor of a bill to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling. Among the 18 U.S. Senators who voted to keep the federal government shut down and millions of Americans from getting their paychecks? Ron “Sunspots” Johnson of Wisconsin.

The other Republican senators that opposed the bill: Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Tim Scott of South Carolina, David Vitter of Louisiana, Mike Lee of Utah, Ted Cruz of Texas, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Marco Rubio of Florida, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Jim Risch of Idaho, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Dean Heller of Nevada.

Sen. Ron Johnson’s vote to keep the federal government shut down and to watch our nation default on its debt was note only reckless and irresponsible – it was downright disgraceful.
