They finally realized that this wasn't working in their favor. The attempt to blame the "other" side failed miserably, and staying closed any longer risked everyone saying "who cares. Life is going on just fine without them."

No, you have to get a certain number of signatures in your state to appear on the ballot.

I was kind of hoping it would've stayed shutdown. Pretty sure that would've kick started a revolution.

I have mixed emotions. I like getting paid for my work but this country does need a change.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
