Janesville Residents Hold Rep. Ryan Accountable for Federal Shutdown, Deliver 30,000 Petitions to End Shutdown

Working families, seniors and veterans rallied with local labor, faith and community leaders today in Janesville to protest the irresponsible decision of Rep. Paul Ryan and the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives to shut down the federal government and lock out federal workers. Protesters urged Rep. Ryan to vote for a Continuing Resolution to end the shutdown and put federal workers back on the job. 

Local people of faith, including Fr. Steve Umhoefer of Nativity of Mary Parish, delivered more than 30,000 petitions to the office of Rep. Paul Ryan calling on him to end the government shutdown.  
 
The statement sharply rebukes irresponsible elected officials like Rep. Ryan for pursuing an “extreme ideological agenda at the expense of the working poor and vulnerable families” by shutting down the federal government. It states that there is "nothing Christain about taking food from the poor."

“House Republicans and Rep. Ryan are essentially threatening to sabotage our economy unless Democrats agree to their demands,” said Allen Jeannette, a Janesville resident and member of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.  “This whole thing is ridiculous. We are here to urge Rep. Ryan to vote for a clean bill to reopen the government. The shutdown is costing our economy billions and slowing economic growth.”

"If the shutdown and debt crisis are merged in the coming weeks, and the debt ceiling is not raised, seniors also may not receive Social Security checks or Medicare reimbursements on time,” explained Billy Feitlinger, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans.  “The Wisconsin Alliance wants a clean Continuing Resolution for funding to re-open the federal government and are strongly opposed to any benefit cuts to Social Security because has not contributed one penny to the federal deficit."

“By recklessly shutting down our government, Rep. Paul Ryan and the Republican leadership are holding the American people hostage. Instead of solving problems and creating jobs for the people who elected them, Republicans have chosen to rob federal employees of their paychecks, deny the American taxpayers the services they paid for and throw our economy into chaos,” said Phil Neuenfeldt, President of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO.  “The people of Wisconsin depend on government workers and the services they provide. This Republican hostage-taking is outrageous and we won’t stand for it.”

By not passing a responsible federal budget that repeals sequestration and invests in our communities, Republicans like Rep. Paul Ryan and John Boehner are displaying terrible leadership and irresponsible governing. As a result of their actions, more than 800,000 federal workers are being furloughed across the country.

Instead of providing America’s taxpayers with essential services, federal workers are being denied the opportunity to work, to collect a paycheck and to support their families. Dysfunction in Washington has reached a tipping point. Working families gathered today in Janesville to send a message to Congress: end this shutdown and focus on putting our country back to work.
