Democrats could solve the Shutdown in 15 minutes! Call your Dem Senator or Congresswoman/man. Tell them to get it done! Humanitarian Crisis.

Impacts of the Government Shutdown
The longer the government shutdown lingers on, the more disastrous the impacts will be. Federal workers are already expressing their displeasure as they remain forced to continue working without the promise of a paycheck. Some of them have even brought a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
Additional reports state that federal workers are facing serious financial hardships as a result of going without compensation for their services. Some workers have quit their jobs. Other Americans are concerned that the quality of service provided by federal workers will suffer if they remain forced to work without pay. Protests are already beginning. All in all, federal workers are not happy campers at this point in time.
