DEMS MESSAGE FOR JAN 29 Somehow, I am on this email list. Wanted to share their propaganda. Take note of their warnings due to shut down. They are "predicting" an air disaster in addition to other threats.  "Dear Supporter, Doing Trump’s bidding, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a clean two-week government funding bill that would have reopened the government, at least temporarily. Their cruelty and callousness towards their own constituents, all in service to their extremist president, is shocking. Trump can end this disastrous government shutdown at any time, but instead he and his GOP enablers are insisting on unprecedented extortion and hostage taking – all for his racist, wasteful wall. The shutdown must end. And it must end WITHOUT caving in to Trump on his wall, otherwise this extortion tactic will be validated and every time a must-pass piece of legislation comes up in the future, there will be more hostage taking and more threats of government shutdowns, because they will be seen as effective and legitimate. Treating Americans as political pawns and wreaking havoc on their lives is no way to govern. It’s DISGRACEFUL that the president of the Unites States would attack his own people in this way. If you’re as angry as we are, then PLEASE JOIN US this Tuesday, January 29 for the "Shut Down the Wall, Open the Government" national day of action! Find a “speak out” event near you and sign up now to attend OR host one of your own>> We desperately need PFAW supporters to anchor more of these events at local Senate and congressional offices, federal buildings, or other locations in your community -- scheduled the day that Trump would have normally given his State of the Union Address (before Nancy Pelosi revoked his invitation due to his shutdown madness). PLEASE consider hosting one of these incredibly important events – sign up now and you’ll get all the information you need to set up a successful rally. PFAW, MoveOn, and other partners will help get the people there!>> 800,000 federal workers and their families are already bearing tremendous hardship – in many cases being forced to work without pay and missing paychecks that will also mean missed mortgage payments and insecurity when it comes to the most basic human needs such as food. The damage has already trickled out into these workers’ communities and it’s starting to land on other vulnerable communities who depend on services that are funded by government grants… Air traffic controllers and the TSA are warning that a cataclysmic impact on air travel is just around the corner… And, make no mistake, if the shutdown persists, it can and will stop the IRS from processing tax refunds and millions of Americans who depend on those refunds will be stuck waiting … just like federal employees and contractors are stuck now. We need thousands of Americans in the streets this Tuesday to send the message loud and clear that Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell must open the government and abandon Trump’s stupid, immoral wall, as well as his other attacks on immigrants and asylum seekers. Can you host or attend a “Shut Down the Wall, Open the Government” Day of Action event in your community this Tuesday? Thank you so much for being in this fight. Ben Betz, Digital Advocacy Director"
