As part of MoveOn's national call to action, we will rally at the federal courthouse where we'll share #shutdownstories and call on Republican Senators to fulfill their Constitutional obligation to check and balance the president. Then we'll march to Senator Portman's office building to personally demand that he do his job! If you or a member of your family is a federal employee or contractor affected by the shutdown, please fill out this short survey here and share your story!"
