61. Give people what they want- Shutdown Government!

Sat Feb 1, 2025, 11:48 AM

Feb 1

Funding deadline is coming up on March 14th, 2025. Democrats MUST reject all proposals until we return to acceptable Constitutional norms. Although Republicans are likely to shutdown government on their own, this is one of the last areas where the Democratic party will have any impacts. Yes, people will be financially hurt but messaging and facts are clearly not getting to the American people. Hit them in their pocketbooks and maybe they'll start listening and paying attention.
