Would Love opinions here. An email from our Senator: Dear Mrs. Burton, Thank you for contacting my office. Unfortunately, due to the government shutdown, my office has been forced to close. This means that most constituent services have been suspended, including tours and assistance with federal agencies, and e-mails to my office will be delayed. This shutdown is harmful to our economy - delaying small business loans and blocking exports, holding up benefits for veterans, and interrupting some Social Security claims. It is outrageous that we are in this situation. Bipartisan cooperation to solve problems is possible. With the Farm Bill, we brought Democrats and Republicans together to help create jobs and cut spending, and the bill passed the Senate with broad bipartisan support in June. Unfortunately, the leadership in the House of Representatives has delayed action on that bill as well, and the current Farm Bill is now also expiring. This government shutdown will create tremendous uncertainty throughout the economy. Democrats and Republicans must come together to re-open the government and work together to pass a budget that creates jobs and strengthens our economy. It can - and must - be done now! Sincerely, Debbie Stabenow United States Senator
