John,
Pardon me if I sound repetitive here, but the government is on the verge of shutting down again. As legendary Yankees Catcher Yogi Berra once said, it’s deja vu all over again.
Will you make a contribution today to show support for your Congressional Democrats, who are united in moving a spending bill forward, averting a government shutdown, and fighting for the needs of Connecticut families? [[link removed]]

Once again, Republican in-fighting has stalled any ability to move legislation through the House that the Senate would adopt or the White House sign. And once again, the impacts of their holding our government hostage will impact the lives of thousands of Connecticuters:
*
Tens
of
thousands
of
federal
employees,
active
duty
military,
and
civilian
defense
personnel
in
Connecticut
would
stop
getting
paid.
*
The
47,000
Connecticut
residents
who
rely
on
the
Special
Supplemental
Nutrition
Program
for
Women,
Infants
and
Children
(WIC)
for
food
assistance
would
lose
benefits.
*
Head
Start,
the
federally
funded
early
learning
and
education
program
for
our
youngest
residents,
could
close
down
if
the
shutdown
lasts
beyond
a
week
or
so.
*
The
quality
of
local
drinking
water
could
decline,
as
routine
inspections
by
the
U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
could
decrease
or
stop
altogether
.
*
Farmers
in
Connecticut,
many
of
whom
operate
small
farms,
could
lose
access
to
federally
backed
farm
loans.
*
Federal
discretionary
grants
administered
to
local
governments
by
federal
agencies
would
be
unavailable
for
reimbursement
,
creating
a
financial
strain
and
potential
closures
at
the
local
level.
In what might be the most aggravating move, MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson sent Congress home early last Friday instead of working in an urgent, bipartisan way to do the bare minimum of what Congress is supposed to do - keep government operational.
It’s yet another example of what happens when MAGA Republicans are in charge and why Democrats need to take back the House to put an end to this kind of arsonist politics.
We can’t allow the MAGA Republicans to continue to bring our country to the brink. Please consider making a contribution today and help Democrats defeat this extremist movement. [[link removed]] Otherwise, we’ll be facing this kind of deja vu over and over again.
Thanks,
Sarah Locke
Executive Director
