American Federation of Government Employees Calls on Democrats to End the Schumer Shutdown

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is calling on Democrats to pass a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) and reopen the government. Will Democrats listen?

“It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today”.

The Schumer Shutdown began on October 1 after Democrats voted against a clean CR that would have kept funding at current government levels.

Democrats insist the hang-up comes over Obamacare subsidies, but the reality is Dems are demanding a slew of new spending, including $1.5 trillion to cover “free” healthcare for illegal immigrants, LGBTQ and climate change initiatives in foreign countries, and re-funding PBS/NPR.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) explained that Democrats voted against it because they’d rather have everyone suffer than just some suffer

Obey
