Open the Government

The shut down is unethical--it hurts people, erodes trust in politicians and the President, costs real dollars, and stalls the goals of an agenda for the common good. Vote to stop the shut down. Compromise. Govern.

Blackburn silent about shutdown. Speaker Pelosi: “We cannot have the president, every time he has an objection, to say I’ll shut down the government until you come to my way of thinking…If we hold the employees hostage now, they’re hostage forever.” Comment, Senator?

Senator, for the sake of Coast Guard patriots, Coast Guard retirees, hard-working people of intelligence community, please vote to reopen the federal government ... no strings attached, no politics. They’ve missed TWO paychecks. 800,000 employees & countless contracted workers.

End the shutdown or say goodbye to your votes in 2020

Why aren’t you in DC pushing for @SenMajLdr to vote to #OpenTheGovernment with #NoWall

Open the government #nowall

Looks like you’re having a great time while preventing federal employees from getting paid. #TrumpShutdown #OpenTheGovernment

Do your job. END THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN! YOUR NAY VOTE TODAY IS NOT THE WAY TO GET IT DONE!
