We went to the streets when it came to the Muslim Ban, kids in cages, etc.
When are we going to do it for the Shutdown? Where are groups like MoveOn or Indivisible on this?

Where would you focus protests? Mitch and President Asshole seriously DGAF about protests.

But this isn't about paychecks and who is or is not being screwed right this minute. This is about a mutt of a "president" who's willing to to hold any and all of us hostage for $5Billion or so. If we cave for that what will he shut it down for next, ADA? SSI? Medicare/Medicade? VA? Any of those are worth a lot more than $5B.
