No Shortchanging Social Services

I am your constituent and I am writing to urge you, as my Representative and Senators, to vote to keep needed services operating and reject a government shutdown. A shutdown would harm our nation's overall economy and our community's access to the help they need. You must not make it harder for people to put food on the table, a roof over their heads, and stay safe and healthy. Instead I am counting on my Representative and Senators to do their job and reject the push by some extremists for harsh cuts. I urge Congress to pass a bill with adequate funds for services including WIC, SNAP (food stamps), childcare, like Head Start, Public School funding, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Thank you.
