Democrat Eric Swalwell represents California's 14th Congressional District. 

Hey, it's Eric.

I’m heading into another day in Congress and let me be blunt: Republicans are hellbent on gutting Medicare and Medicaid — and they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

The deadline to avoid a shutdown is March 14, but instead of working to keep the government open, House Republicans are pushing a partisan continuing resolution that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance, and veterans benefits.

This is not acceptable, friend. Can you rush a donation to help House Democrats stop Republicans from sabotaging healthcare and forcing a shutdown?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Here’s the truth: Republicans control Congress and the White House, so the responsibility to avert a shutdown falls squarely on them. But instead of working with Democrats to pass a bipartisan solution, they’re pushing a reckless agenda that would:

• Rip healthcare away from millions of seniors and working families,
• Slash veterans’ benefits, and
• Gut programs that keep Americans healthy and secure.

Why? Because they’d rather serve Trump and his billionaire buddies than their own constituents.

Democrats are fighting to protect Americans’ healthcare and hold the line against these cruel cuts. But we need your help to keep up the pressure. Can you chip in today to help us stop MAGA’s continuing resolution and protect the programs millions rely on?

This is about priorities: People or Trump. We know where we stand. Now let’s show them.

More soon,

— Team Swalwell
