No More Shutdowns! Tell Congress: Stop Playing Politics with Our Safety

Right now, extreme partisans in the Republican party are threatening to shut down the Department of Homeland Security over the President's actions on immigration.

It's a dangerous political ploy to score points with the most anti-immigrant factions within the GOP, and it's threatening our national security. As Republican Senator John McCain explained on Meet the Press:

"[Americans] want things done. You cannot cut funding from the Department of Homeland Security. We need to sit down and work this thing out."

With terrorist groups like Al-Shabaab and ISIS openly mobilizing for terror attacks within the US, the petty bickering of Washington's politicians is putting the safety of our families and communities at risk.

Tell Congress to get serious about national security and pass the Senate's bill to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security without partisan restrictions.

Dear Member of Congress:

As a constituent and someone concerned about preventing terror attacks in US communities, I strongly urge you to support passage of the Senate's bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security without provisions challenging the President's executive actions on immigration.

Whatever your other concerns, we all agree on the need to protect our homeland in the face of explicit terror threats from groups like Al-Shabaab and ISIS.

America can afford no more delays, no more political posturing, and no more stopgap measures. It is time for the House of Representatives to pass a clean bill to fund Homeland Security and keep our country safe.

Sincerely,

[Your name]

VICTORY: The House of Representatives has just passed a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the fiscal year. It does NOT undermine the President's immigration actions. Thanks and congratulations to the more than 28,000 Care2 members and others who told Congress to stop putting politics above homeland security.
