Boyle Files Discharge Petition To Protect Nation From Default

Press Release

Date: May 17, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.

"We are exactly two weeks away from a potential catastrophic default -- the urgency of the moment cannot be overstated. I am filing this petition to give Congress another path forward to protect American livelihoods, small businesses, our economy and national security, and ensure earned benefits and bills are paid on time. Filing this petition does not preclude a deal or prevent other action -- but it does create flexibility so Congress can come together to act.

"But let's be clear: this did not have to happen. By taking our economy hostage and refusing to address the debt ceiling, MAGA extremists have forced Congress to consider other pathways to meet our constitutional obligation -- something Congress has done more than 100 times before on a bipartisan basis, including three times in the previous administration. We intend to gather 218 signatures from Democrats and Republicans so we can ensure America pays its bills."
