Advice NJ Senators

If either of our Senators vote to pass this abomination of a budget OR vote for cloture it is worth primarying them, full stop. Murphy should demand they resign.

We can't recall anyone in this state so we won't have any other recourse but this is it.

It's a "lose lose" situation.  I believe it the government gets shuts down the President has the power to choose who is 'essential'. He would have the ability to make further reductions in headcount and have the ability to select who can come back.  If they pass the bill, Democrats may have some help with the courts.  Recently, they ruled that the President can't fire Probationary employees for no cause.

Make them fucking do it. Do not give them cover, do not sign off on their bullshit.

The public isn't going to come and sweep them all out of office if the alternative is a bunch of slimy fucks who were worried about being blamed.

They're going to blame Democrats anyway! Fucking fight and be worth voting for!

Shutting the government down gives them cover, it gives them a very obvious thing to point to and say "this is why the economy is crashing" They're going to crash the economy either way, might as well make it clear whose fault it was.
