Dear John,

This week, we reach the end of October, and the government will have officially been shut down for a whole month. While the GOP goes on vacation, Democrats are ready to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies and reopen the government.

The month is almost over, and with the GOP refusing to work, I need your support so I can fight back against them. Can you chip in $20 today to help me hit my goal?

While the Republicans keep the government closed, so many of us are struggling: 

• SNAP will run out of funding this week.
• Programs like HeadStart will close and leave thousands of preschoolers stranded.
• Federal workers across the country, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers, are missing paychecks and working without pay.
• Americans are already seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket.

We can’t let the GOP get away with this.

They own this shutdown, and they are the ones who refuse to work. Join my team and help me reach my end-of-month fundraising goal, so I can continue working to reopen the government. Can you chip in $20 today?

Thank you,

Judy
