Hi, I’m Congressman Adam Smith and I represent the 9th district in the state of Washington. I’m opposing the CR that the Republicans have put on the floor today for two reasons.pic.twitter.com/XVRRtIm9ia

So, I’m voting no for that reason, but also a CR, a continuing resolution, is not funding the government. President Trump and the Republicans seem to think that the government really doesn’t matter, they don’t care about funding it.

But we need to fund it, we need appropriations bills, not a continuing resolution. We are already 3 months plus into the fiscal year of 2018 without appropriations bills. We shouldn’t be passing CRs, we should be passing appropriations bills and we should be passing a DACA fix.

So that the Dreamers that were told that they should be able to stay in this country and who should be able to stay in this country, can. So I’m going to vote no, and hopefully the Senate will defeat this bill.

Hopefully the House will defeat it. But I hear the Senate is likely to defeat it and then Republicans will be forced to negotiate, forced to come to the table and actually do something that should have been done a long time age.
