Let the government shut down on March 14th.
To: Rep. Raskin
From: A constituent in Takoma Park, MD
March 8
As a federal employee and your constituent, I urge you not to concede to the republican attempts at gutting our resources and handing them off to their donors. The Trump administration is hell bent on stripping our national possessions, earned by the sweat and dedication of average Americans (citizens and non-citizen immigrants) and folding them into the hoards of the wealthy. The only leverage I can see for as long as the democrats are in the minority might be this battle over a funding bill, and even though I know it might hurt us federal employees further to see the government shut down this month I can’t see how else to slow this avalanche. Please hold the line and hold your principles, and allow the government shutdown to happen.
