We would still like to advocate for Alyssa Milano to LEARN something about politics and policy before she continues pretending to be some great activist. Seriously, if she’s going to make the effort to write a ‘letter’ to Democrats calling for them to shut down the govt. because she is upset the Dems didn’t get their way, she might actually want to look at the number of people who would suffer over a shutdown.
Or maybe she missed it when Democrats played the ‘you’re killing people’ card when the GOP shut the govt. down.
Either way, this is just really bad.
Dear Democrats,
I get it. We must try to avoid a government shut down. But hear me out — what happens this week will reflect who we are as a country. So if the Republican budget plan does not include funding for these fundamental issues then you must… #ShutItDown.

But hear her out, they’re not getting their way so they need to throw a tantrum and show who they are as a party.
Trust us, we know.
We’ve been watching you babies meltdown for over a year.

Funny how their narrative changes, ain’t it?
OK. I'm in but only if you promise Media covers it as a DEMOCRAT shut down and they list the ppl not getting paid and parks closing like they did when they wanted to blame Republicans. 🙂 https://t.co/w85NJDV1MN

HA! No way, they’ll blame Trump for FORCING them to shut it down.
They’re so damn predictable.
Take care of our kids! If the Republican budget fails 9 million children by not funding their healthcare through #CHIP then you must… #ShutItDown.

Republicans tried to fund CHIP in November of 2016, Democrats blocked it to protect their precious Obamacare.
Read a book, Alyssa.
Protect #Dreamers! If the Republican budget doesn’t protect the 800k #DACA recipients then you must…#ShutItDown

Why should our budget protect people who are not in this country legally? Shut down the govt that serves legal citizens because of illegal immigrants?
No.
Puerto Ricans remain without power, clean water and basic medical services. If the Republican budget doesn’t include the aid that Puerto Rico needs then you must #ShutItDown.

Puerto Rico itself is also responsible for what’s happening there.
The Republicans rejected a bi-partisan compromise bill. Say, "no"! NO to a short-term funding bill that would exclude vital human rights provisions. This is worth the fight.

WHICH HUMAN RIGHTS ARE THEY EXCLUDING?!
Living in this country illegally is NOT a human right.

Whoa boy.
There is a whole lotta stupid going on here.

Yup.
If she thinks about it she might hurt herself.
Shutting it down was a bad idea when the GOP did it, and it is a bad idea now. It only hurts average Americans. I have never felt less represented by my government than now.
— Ryan Carty (@O_Charthaigh) January 16, 2018
But she wants to show the GOP who’s boss and stuff.
I think it would hurt Democrats and be counterproductive
— Kristi chambo (@Virginiavoter23) January 16, 2018
It would.
I completely disagree. We should not shut down the Govt over policy issues. Period. Ever. That’s not what liberals and Democrats should do, unless you want to be like R’s

Alyssa doesn’t understand what she’s talking about, don’t be too hard on her.
Alyssa Milano, we are not a one world government and we should never try to be. If you wish to help these people use your voice to do so as a group or individual. You can’t demand the government to force the rights of individuals while demanding freedom.

The current budget up for approval does include a five year extension on CHIP funding that has been approved by both the House & Senate. If Democrats shut down the government they are responsible for killing CHIP. Get real.
