GOP Moves To Pass Bill To Ensure That Our Troops Get Paid Even If Obama Defunds The Military After efforts were made to stop the funding of Planned Parenthood, liberals stubbornly decided not to allow the government to do so. Now, it appears the government may temporarily shut down altogether. Liberal congressmen have worked to introduce a bill that would prevent Congress from getting paid were a shutdown to take place, but conservatives are certain that they will find support in our military. According to reports, Republican Rep. Mike Coffman from Colorado just introduced the Pay Our Military Act last week, in an effort to guarantee that the members of our armed forces continue to get paid. Our soldiers, airman, sailors, and Marines cannot go on furlough, so it is inexcusable for them to go without pay in the event of a government shutdown, Coffman wrote in a press release. If his bill passes, civilians and contractors who work for the Defense Department would also be paid during a shutdown. What do you think? Do you support Coffmans efforts?
