A message from Congressperson Karen Bass on the recent United States government shutdown.
Dear Friend—
Last night, instead of focusing on creating jobs and rebuilding the middle class, tea party conservatives insisted upon denying access to health care to millions of Americans. As a result, the government shut down for the first time in 17 years.
Thousands of Californians are already being affected by a lack of government funds—and the impact will likely worsen if Republicans don’t not drop their unreasonable demands. If you have questions about how the shutdown may affect you, visit bass.house.gov/shutdown for the latest updates.
