Slideshow: Officials, Residents Tweet About Debt Crisis

Hours before an expected House vote, local officials and Northern Virginia residents continued

Here's what they're saying: 

Rep. Gerald Connolly on Twitter: With House switchboard overwhelmed, you can also reach me via my official website - http://connolly.house.gov

Sen. Mark Warner on Twitter: "It's the height of irresponsibility for us to be this close to the deadline." -SenWarner @politico #playbookbreakfasthttp://t.co/I3FI

Fairfax County on Twitter: "This has reached crisis level and is impacting everyone in Northern Virginia, and we say enough is enough!" #debtceiling

City of Alexandria: "Local governments don't have a federal debt crisis problem, the federal government does." - Mayor William D. Euille #PoliticsProgram

@EricBoyle @ViennaPatch stop holding country hostage to political games! Anyone rational knows that combo of cuts and revenue is only way fwd.

@beltwaybanditJeremy HodgkinHere's and idea for @GerryConnolly, put all of congress on social security and Medicare. Maybe then they'll seriously consider reforms.

davidwillmore David Willmore  Republicans: get over yourselves and deal with the debt crisis like adults. That is, by making concessions and compromises.

 in reply to @ottervt2000 Peter DeWeese@davidwillmore, if I ran my budget like congress, I'd have $100k in credit debt and ask the bank to raise my limit instead of spending less.
