The government will shut down on September 30 unless Congress passes a bipartisan funding bill, but Republican infighting is standing in the way. They’re eyeing a far-right budget to lock in healthcare cuts, defund schools, funnel our tax dollars to ICE, and hand Trump more unchecked power.
Republicans control both Congress and the White House. If they’re too focused on ripping people’s healthcare away to keep the government open, they’ll own the blame for a shutdown.
Submit this form to email your Republican senator(s). Tell them to publicly back BIPARTISAN funding that protects healthcare – or pay the price for causing a shutdown!
Dear Senator,
I’m a constituent writing to you because I’m deeply concerned about the potential government shutdown and how it would hurt businesses, workers, and families like mine.
It’s obvious Republicans are more focused on partisan pet projects than on the real issues people need solved – like healthcare. If the government shuts down because Republicans won’t come to the table on a bipartisan basis, I think Donald Trump and Republicans will be to blame.
Do not force a Trump Shutdown. Please commit to working on a bipartisan compromise to keep the government open.
Sincerely,
