Congress has until September 30 to pass a bill funding the federal government – but if right-wing conservatives in Congress get their way, they'll shut the government down instead. That's according to a disturbing new article in Politico, which notes that "there’s rising angst within the party that its hard-right flank actually wants a shutdown." The consequences of a government shutdown would be disastrous for the American people and the U.S. economy, so we need to fight back down to pressure Republicans to do their job and pass a government funding bill. Sign the petition demanding that Republicans in Congress pass a government funding bill before the September 30 deadline.
