Congressional Republicans hold a rally on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, in Washington
Congressional Republicans hold a rally on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, September 29, 2013, as a possible government shutdown looms in two days. With a midnight Monday deadline to avert a federal government shutdown fast approaching, the U.S. Capitol building was eerily quiet on Sunday, with meeting rooms locked, lawmakers not to be found, and both parties waiting for the other to blink.
