What to do if you're angry about the government shutdown:

1. Call your Congressperson or Senator. Or both.

List of numbers is here:

www.house.gov/representatives/

There is no step 2. Just call your Senator or Representative and tell them how ridiculous and harmful this government shutdown is. Urge them to pass a clean continuing resolution without any policy attached to it so our country can get back on track. Maybe give an example of how this government shutdown is affecting you.

Make your voice heard. Your elected representatives do take that into account.
