Tell your Representative You Oppose a Government Shutdown

World’s Richest Man Drives U.S. Toward a Shutdown to Pave the Way for Tax Breaks for Billionaires

• Donald Trump and the world’s richest man Elon Musk ordered Republicans to back out of a bipartisan agreement and shut down the government – inflicting real pain on hardworking Americans across the country.
• Last night, Republicans pushed for a new bill that is designed to set up another Trump tax scam and place the burden on American families — Democrats will not stand by as they do the bidding of their billionaire benefactors at the expense of the American people. 
• Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and House Republicans are telling us exactly who they are and who they’ll fight for. 
• MAGA Republicans are threatening to raise the cost of essentials like prescription drugs, withhold paychecks from millions of Americans, gut funding for childhood cancer research, and cut programs that families rely on like Social Security and Head Start – all to clear the way for Trump to offshore American jobs and cut taxes for billionaires as soon as he gets into office.
• While Democrats are focused on keeping the government open and lowering costs, Republicans are leaving working families in the cold while paving the way for huge tax breaks for billionaires.

A government shutdown will negatively affect us and our country. It is detrimental because it disrupts the economy, causes financial hardship for workers, interrupts vital services, and erodes public confidence in government institutions.

Please help keep our government running. Let your representatives know you don’t support a government shutdown.

Subject: Urgent Appeal: Please Oppose a Government Shutdown

Dear [Congressperson's Last Name],

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits.

As a constituent in your district, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the looming possibility of a government shutdown on December 21st. I urge you to do everything within your power to prevent such an event and prioritize the well-being of Oklahoma families and all Americans.

A government shutdown has far-reaching and detrimental consequences. It disrupts essential services, delays critical paychecks for federal workers, weakens economic stability, and undermines public trust in our government’s ability to function effectively. This is particularly troubling during the holiday season, a time that should be focused on family and community rather than financial uncertainty.

While policy disagreements are inevitable, I firmly believe that our elected representatives have a duty to find common ground without resorting to a shutdown. A government shutdown is not a solution; it is a failure of leadership and governance.

I urge you to work across the aisle, engage in meaningful dialogue, and champion a bipartisan budget resolution that avoids a shutdown. It is your responsibility as my elected representative to ensure our government remains operational and continues to serve the American people effectively.

Please let me know your stance on this issue and the steps you are taking to prevent a shutdown. Transparency and communication are essential to maintaining the trust and confidence of your constituents.

Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response and to seeing your leadership in ensuring the government remains open and functional.
