AMAC Action, the advocacy affiliate of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), with over 2 million members nationwide, urges Congress to pass a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) to prevent a government shutdown and ensure that essential services remain uninterrupted.
A government shutdown would jeopardize critical services that seniors rely on, from Social Security offices and Medicare assistance to veterans’ benefits and health programs. The confusion, backlogs, and service disruptions that accompany a shutdown create needless anxiety and hardship for older Americans living on fixed incomes.
The demands reportedly being made by Democrat leaders to keep the government open, including healthcare for illegal aliens and funding for public broadcasting stations that consistently peddle harmful falsehoods about conservatives, are unpopular and unreasonable requests. President Trump and Republican leaders have the support of America’s seniors in rejecting these demands.
We urge lawmakers to avoid political brinkmanship, act now, and honor their commitment to the American people, especially our nation’s seniors.
Pass a clean CR. Keep the government open. Protect America’s seniors.

This is not true. Social Security, Medicaid, military, ice are all essential services.
