Republican and Trump’s negotiating strategy: hold 9 mil kids hostage for health insurance & hold 800,000 Dreamers hostage when 87% of Americans want them to stay all in pursuit of forcing American taxpayers to pay for an unpopular see through wall he said Mexico would pay for.

This would be meaningful if you had to live paycheck to paycheck like many of your constituents. Many of whom also support DACA. Maybe you could represent us over party and donors?

Given that you're responsible, seems reasonable.

Why if you're standing on principle is it necessary to announce what should be a given for any congressperson, particularly those who believe they are there to serve the entire public, the entire country and its needs? Or are there other reasons you need to wave this letter?

Awesome. Since your in a non-pay status then you will also be giving up health care, TSP, and all other benefits that require you make a bi-weekly salary. I support you. But its time to stop playing politics with government employees.

Press is reporting you are donating your pay. Please clarify if pay accrued during shutdown will be returned to federal government, donated (and if so, specifically where?), or deposited into your bank account later. @indystar
