Common Cause

Background

MAGA Republicans in the U.S. House are planning a US government shutdown to force President Biden to destroy essential programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, public schools, college loans, and climate jobs.

President Biden will not give in to these MAGA terrorist demands, so the United States will default on its bonds, triggering an economic meltdown.

  • Stock markets will collapse, wiping out pension funds, 501ks, and IRAs.
  • Interest rates will soar, canceling investments in construction and manufacturing.
  • The U.S. government will be unable to pay the military, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
  • State and local governments will be unable to pay police, teachers, firefighters, hospitals, etc.

Before long, the U.S. will be in a Depression. But we can stop a MAGA Shutdown if only 5 out of 223 House Republicans vote with Democrats to lift the debt ceiling. 19 of them represent Democratic districts won by Joe Biden, so they are vulnerable to organized pressure from their own constituents. So we will organize voters in every Republican district to change their minds – or defeat as many as we can in 2024.

Republicans Against Default

  • Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01)

    • “I will tell you that we will not allow our country to default on our debt. The full faith and credit of the United States is what gives us the position we hold in the world. So that’s off the table. We’re not going to default. We cannot allow ourselves to default.”

Republicans who represent Democratic districts

  • David Schweikert (AZ-01)
  • Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06)
  • Mike Garcia (CA-27)
  • Young Kim (CA-40)
  • Ken Calvert (CA-41)
  • Michelle Steel (CA-45)
  • Zach Nunn (IA-03)
  • John James (MI-10)
  • Don Bacon (NE-02)
  • Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07)
  • Nick LaLota (NY-01)
  • George Santos (NY-03)
  • Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04)
  • Mike Lawler (NY-17)
  • Marc Molinaro (NY-19)
  • Brandon Williams (NY-22)
  • Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05)
  • Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01): opposes default 

At a time when we are seeing one crises after another, this may be one of the most important for all of us to deal with.  Use your VOICE and apply the pressure.  Our very well-being hangs in the balance.  ACT TODAY!!!
