Tell House Republicans: Stop holding the government hostage to your extremist demands
Intransigent and irresponsible Republican extremists in Congress have precipitated a government shutdown that will cause widespread economic pain.
Pick up the phone today, and demand that House Republicans stop holding our economy hostage to their extremist demands.
Possible Script:
Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I am calling to say that Republicans must stop holding our entire economy hostage to their irresponsible demands.
It's time for Republicans to take responsibility as sitting members of Congress to ensure the basic functioning of our government. And that means working to restore funding to the federal government by immediately passing the Senate’s routine and uncontroversial government funding bill, which already incorporates cuts demanded by Republicans.
