Well, here we are again.
Just 47 days since the last manufactured crisis, we yet again narrowly avoided a reckless and unnecessary government shutdown -- for the next 64 days, at least. In mid-January, we’ll be forced into this situation all over again by a Republican Party that refuses to govern.
I’ve run out of patience, and I’m willing to bet that you have too. That’s why I keep pushing for passage of my End Shutdowns Act -- legislation that will not only automatically fund the government but also force Congress to focus on a long-term spending agreement if we don’t have a bill passed by the deadline.
People rely on a functioning government, plain and simple -- from the hundreds of thousands of federal employees and contractors (many of whom are right here in Virginia!) to the millions of folks who get medical benefits or food assistance.
We just can’t keep letting the GOP railroad governance for the sake of their political game-playing and stunts.
Here’s what needs to happen:
We’ve got to pass the End Shutdowns Act and protect the American public from unnecessary and harmful shutdowns -- and frankly, we’ve got to make sure Republicans don’t get to control the government again!
They’ve made it crystal clear that they just don’t take this seriously.
Today, I’m asking you to sign my petition in support of the End Shutdowns Act. Your signature helps show my colleagues in Congress that the American people are fed up with the GOP’s stunts and ready for real governance. [[link removed]]
