See you in LA?

RE: 📣 Act Now: Demand Congress pay our nation’s bills!

Tick tock… John, I wish I had better news to share, but Congress is still playing games with our economy and refusing to pay their bills. The only difference is that we’re now potentially a little more than a week away from running out of the funds we need to pay our debts. Nearly…

If Congress doesn’t act soon, America could run out of money to pay our bills as soon as June 1. John, the clock is ticking. If Congress doesn’t act soon, experts say that America could default on its debts as soon as June 1 – that’s in one week.1 Let’s be really clear here: Def…
