End the GOP Government Shutdown Now

The last week has been a tough one for our country. Republican extremists in the House, determined to defund our landmark health care law, shut down the federal government for the first time in 17 years.

This Republican-led shutdown is already doing damage to our economy. Thousands of federal employees have been furloughed, Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories are running on reserve funds. And government loans to small businesses all across the state have been suspended.

William -- there isn't an easy answer to this crisis -- but I'm working every day to end this senseless stalemate. We need to convince Republicans that our country can't afford another day of their partisan gridlock.

Help me send a message to Congress. We need to end this deadlock so we can get our focus back to where it needs to be: Rebuilding our economy in New Mexico and across the country.

Sign the petition today and tell the extreme Republicans that we need to end this shutdown now.
Tea Party obstructionists in Congress need to focus less on winning extreme ideological battles and more on doing what’s right for the country. I’m committed to making Washington work for New Mexico and getting our economy back on track.

Thank you for your help.
