Keep calling your Senators. Tell them to hold the line. We'll see how this ends. I really want to force the Republicans to end the filibuster and fund this government themselves. I don't know if a deal is going to be reached. I do know it's bad to have a government shut down. So I don't really know the right answer. But I do want to applaud our Senators for holding the line on this.
