Can we as Democrats agree on one thing: That our Service
Men and Women in the Military be exempted from
Political Fights that close down the Government.

Once and for all can we get our Congressmen and
Women and Our President to codify or make a law
that it is automatic Military Service Personal
always receive pay during a government shutdown.

I am sick of watching the GOP try to exploit this.

Thanks, put out the word and see if we can this taken
care of. Thanks

5. If anyone deserves to be paid, it is our military.
I hope their pay continues if the government were to shut down. They deserve it.
