CALL NOW: Tell Senate Democrats to Hold the Line Against the Extreme MAGA Continuing Resolution
The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill.
Senate Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but instead of negotiating in good faith, they’re pushing for an MAGA continuing resolution (CR) that makes extreme cuts that will jeopardize Social Security, leave tens of thousands of families without homes or food, and slashes benefits to veterans.
To be clear, this isn’t a “clean” continuing resolution that would keep the government open while they negotiate, it’s a slush fund that gives Trump and Elon Musk even more power over federal spending. Instead of trying to rein in the Trump and Musk power grab, this CR legitimizes it.
Almost every House Democrat stood united and voted NO on this CR. Now it’s time for Senate Dems to take a stand and oppose this outrageous bill.
They must use their leverage, hold the line, and insist on a clean, short-term CR that keeps the government open without giving Trump and Musk a blank check.
If Democrats are unified in support of a short-term CR and Republicans choose to shut down the government rather than agree to their reasonable demands, Republicans will own the shutdown. Then, we can use the March recess to hold those Republicans accountable and make their time in-district as painful as possible, so that they’re forced to negotiate a funding bill that includes ironclad safeguards to rein in Trump and Musk and protects essential programs.
But we need Democrats to stay strong and not flinch. They must vote NO on cloture, which ends debate and allows for a simple-majority vote on final passage of the bill, until they have guaranteed they have enough votes to actually win a clean 30 day CR.
Fill out this form now, and we’ll connect you to your senator. Tell them they must use their leverage in the funding fight and vote NO on cloture for this CR unless they have a clear path to passing a clean short-term bill instead. Let them know you expect them to reject the Republican CR at every stage, even if Republicans won’t play ball on a clean bill.

Senate Democrats cannot go along with a continuing resolution that emboldens the Trump-Musk power grab
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].
Republicans are pushing an extreme continuing resolution that puts Social Security, veteran benefits, and even housing and food for thousands of families at risk. It hands Trump and Elon Musk even more power over federal spending, legitimizing their outrageous power grab.
Republicans can’t pass this CR without Democrat votes, so Senate Democrats must use their leverage and only lend votes for a clean, short-term CR that keeps the government running without letting Trump and Musk take control of federal spending. That way, Republicans have time to come to the table to negotiate a clean spending bill that has ironclad protections against Trump and Musk..
I’m counting on [Senator] to stand united with other Democrats to reject the Republicans’ harmful CR. But it’s not enough to just vote no on the final passage of the bill. They must vote NO on cloture until there is a real path forward to pass a clean short term bill instead. If [Senator] fights for us, we will have their back.
Can I count on [Senator] to hold the line?
