The most immediate problem facing America is that the funding provided by last week’s continuing resolution runs out in 40 days and the U.S. government will soon return to the brink of shutdown.
Without a Speaker, the House has ground to a halt. And we fear the pathways to avert an actual shutdown are constrained, perhaps non-existent, without a functioning Problem Solvers Caucus. We continue to believe strongly in the importance of the Problem Solvers Caucus as a force for good in a broken Congress, and so we are asking each member of the Caucus to put aside emotions and get back in the room – together – to search for a bipartisan solution to this crisis. And we ask members of our community to encourage every member of the Problem Solvers Caucus to do so.
We know feelings are hurt and trust may be splintered, but we also know that now, perhaps more than any other time in recent memory, our country needs the Problem Solvers Caucus.
Please join us for the update call at 6:30 PM ET today if you can.
See you there,
