There are less than 10 days before a possible shutdown looms in Washington. This, in tum, affects our entire country – from our national parks all the way to people’s Social Security and veterans’ benefits. Every facet of American life would be affected. There is no need to jeopardize these benefits.

House Republicans are putting their party over the country and the working people that help build America from the ground up. Representative David Schweikert is part of this coalition that is hurting the lives of middle and working class people.

Representatives like David Schweikert are willing to shut down the government and raise costs for working people as they prepare to give more tax breaks to big corporations and billionaires. They want to privatize Social Security and Medicaid, ultimately making it difficult for people on Medicaid to access their healthcare benefits. Representative Schweikert, we cannot let the government shut down due to your negligence and your lack of care towards our community. Man up and stand against your party to do good.
