John,

I wish I had better news to share, but Congress is still playing games with our economy and refusing to pay their bills. The only difference is that we’re now potentially a little more than a week away from running out of the funds we need to pay our debts.

Nearly 2,000 RepresentUs supporters have already sent a message to their representatives demanding action, but I noticed you weren’t one of them. Please, send a message to your members of Congress demanding they act NOW to pay our nation’s bills – before it’s too late!

It’s time our elected officials work for us, not their own partisan interests. Let’s make sure they hear our demands.

John, the clock is ticking.

If Congress doesn’t act soon, experts say that America could default on its debts as soon as June 1 – that’s in two weeks.¹

Let’s be really clear here: Defaulting on our debts would be unprecedented, sending our economy into a tailspin and costing millions of Americans their jobs.²

So what’s Congress doing about it? Holding our nation hostage as they push their own partisan agendas. They’re pushing us toward default and playing a cynical game of recession roulette – enough is enough.

Add your name: Demand Congress quit it with the political gamesmanship and finish the job of paying our bills. Extremist politicians are putting us in danger of a recession and risking millions of people’s jobs in the process. 70% of Americans favor raising the debt ceiling to avoid default, and I’m one of them. Put partisanship aside and pay your bills. Sincerely, John

We don’t have much time, so please don’t wait. Send your message now and tell Congress to put partisan politics aside and finish the job of paying our bills.

Thanks for taking action,

Casey Shea Content Director RepresentUs
