Conservative activist Brent Bozell (ForAmerica, Media Research Center) is leading a Facebook campaign to bombard Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R., Ky.) office with calls urging him not to “cave” to President Obama on the debt ceiling.

“If Mitch McConnell thinks caving to President Obama and allowing him to raise the debt ceiling without cuts is the way to become Senate Majority Leader he is sorely mistaken,” Bozell said in a statement. “The American people elected him to serve as a check on Obama’s appetite for out-of-control spending, not to write him a blank check to continue the binge. It’s these sort of shenanigans that got Republicans thrown out of power in 2006. If he is serious about giving Obama and the Democrats a free pass in exchange for not having to make the difficult decisions, he should look to John Boehner to see real courage.”
