The gas valve does has a screen located right where the gas pipe connects to it. It could be stopped up. This is common if a drip pipe was not installed in the gas line. If no debris is found, then the valve is bad.

called the manufacturer and they said that this unit is designed so that if the thermo goes bad that it shuts down everything including feed to pilot . Good news is that there was a recall / mod made to this unit and they are overnighting me the fix and new thermo couple free of charge.
Bad news ,one more morning of cold showers.
