Dear Friend,
MAGA House Republicans are holding the government hostage, demanding a laundry list of extreme partisan proposals -- from baseless impeachment inquiries to devastating cuts in essential programs like food safety, education, and housing. Their extreme negligence is a ticking time bomb that threatens to disrupt the lives of countless Americans and jeopardize our national security.
Ted Cruz is certainly no stranger to using government shutdowns to maliciously hurt Texas and American families -- having led the 2013 shutdown in a cruel attempt to strip away healthcare from millions of Americans and thousands of Texans by repealing the Affordable Care Act. Chip in $7 to help send Ted packing in 2024!
And now, Friend, Ted is rooting for another shutdown that would hurt Texas families. He’s proclaimed that he supports “any efforts” to hinder Democrats’ agenda, and proudly boasted that “the odds of a shutdown are very high” -- effectively endorsing a shutdown that would have catastrophic consequences for millions of Americans.
If Ted Cruz and other MAGA Republicans get their way and the government shuts down:
- Social Security applicants could see wait times doubled for disability benefits.
-
Our brave service members won't receive their paychecks on time.
- Critical food safety inspections could be postponed.
- Lifesaving research on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's could come to a halt.
-
Nearly 7 million women and children who rely on the WIC program could lose their nutrition assistance.
The looming government shutdown is a symptom of a larger problem: the extreme, harmful politics championed by Ted Cruz and his MAGA Republican allies. The Beat Cruz War Room has a clear mission -- to send Ted Cruz packing in 2024 and put an end to his cruel and inhumane behavior once and for all. But we can't do it without you, Friend. Will you rush a $24 donation to help fuel the fight to defeat Ted Cruz?
