Will you vow not to accept a salary as long as the fellow Americans you supposedly represent are not getting paid? Especially since you voted no on them getting paid?

So you’re going to vote to open the government back up? Going to speak about how this uses the lives of others as political pawns? You’ll tell the debased GOP leadership this? I hope so. Otherwise, it’s all talk and no real courage (what I’m expecting much from you, neighbor).

@realDonaldTrump promised that Mexico would build the wall. Hold him to that promise. Different branches of govt exist to check/balance each other. Don't let @POTUS be an unchecked autocrat. #VA5th

Oh jeesh! The federal government has not even seized the land thru eminent domain yet. Partisan? The only crisis is the one OUR hijacked WH has created. #DidTrumpOpenGovernmentYet

For me it’s about holding Trump to his promises. Who was supposed to pay for the wall? Not taxpayers like you and me. It’s the principle of the thing. Why settle for the same old backstabbing of the American public elected leaders? We should expect better.

Cheap theater from the White House. #AnotherTrumpFlunkie Where are your bipartisan efforts? What do you have to say to all of the Virginia workers being hurt by the president's partisan temper tantrum?

No FDA to keep the food Americans eat safe. No TSA to keep the airports Americans use safe. No IRS to process tax returns for Americans that need that refund check. No idea how long National Guard will work without pay... If you care about American safety then open govt.

Would you let your constituents know where to look for the written proposal on exactly how $5.7 billion in taxpayer money, including studies on eminent domain impact, engineering details, environmental impact, total projected cost, studies from affected agencies, etc.?
