matters is that it looks like our representatives have gone home to play, have a vacation and a paycheck and have left everyone in the lurch. I know there is nothing they can do but they can shame the Repubs by just being there and demanding that Trump and the Repubs act. There are people really hurting because of this shutdown and regardless of whose fault it is, I think it looks terrrible that we're not there raising hell.
