Boehner Maintains Rejection of "Clean" Government Funding Bill 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
Republican leaders are refusing to back down in their campaign against
"Obamacare" as the partial federal government shutdown enters its
seventh day. On Sunday, House Speaker John Boehner rejected calls to
allow a vote on a government funding bill without tying it to undoing
President Obama's healthcare law. The White House has argued a so-called
"clean" measure would have enough votes from Democrats and moderate
Republicans if Boehner would allow it to reach the floor.
