President Trump says he can relate to federal workers and contractors who are furloughed or working without pay, but one HUD employee states “this shutdown has me nervous and it has me scared and has me so upset!”

Ahead of President Trump’s prime-time address to the nation, I urge each and every one of you to listen to this powerful story by a West Oak Lane (#Philly) resident about how this #governmentshutdown affects her & her family:pic.twitter.com/lDuHyTm6eS

In the video above she says she’s ready to go back to work and serve the public & serve the people, but she can’t do that! The bill collectors are calling her phone, her mortgage company is about to call!

She doesn’t want President Trump using her and her colleagues as pawns, she wants the government open NOW – they need help, they need someone to stand up and say this is done.

“I’m tired of being a pawn, being here for 20 years [at HUD] I've been a pawn & it’s just not fair, it’s just not fair — I don’t know what else to tell you, but I need my job."

If nothing from this video resonates with you, hear and understand the pain from this Philly woman: “I have student loans to pay for and I have the American dream, BUT my American dream is slipping through my fingers no fault of my own and it’s not fair…it’s really not fair.”

This is why it’s important to have a system in place where you don’t need to rely on the government for your livelihood.

SHE WORKS FOR THE FED GOVT, serving US everyday. She's 20 years in & likely plans to retire from that job, when she'll DESERVE her pension. She's probably nervous because if
#POTUS45 can shut down govt & stop her paychecks on a whim, he might do the same with her pension checks.pic.twitter.com/IEGkFLNyTU
