In the critical battle to fund the government, the stakes have never been higher. Senator Maria Cantwell is faced with a pivotal vote on the continuing resolution that will determine the future of our nation’s spending and priorities. If Cantwell votes for cloture—essentially setting the stage for the vote—yet then turns around and votes against the continuing resolution itself, it will be viewed as a vote for the resolution, but without the integrity that her constituents deserve.
This maneuver might look like a compromise or a strategic play, but it undermines the very principles of transparency and accountability. Voting for cloture signals support for moving the legislation forward, while voting against the resolution itself can be interpreted as a hollow gesture—making a stand without taking responsibility for the decision.
We need Maria Cantwell to vote no on the continuing resolution. It’s not just a vote on funding; it’s a vote on where our government prioritizes spending, on whether we can continue to let wasteful programs move forward unchecked, and on how much we’re willing to sacrifice for long-term stability.
The time to act is now. Urge your friends, family, and fellow constituents to call Maria Cantwell’s office today. Let her know that we demand more than political posturing—this is a critical moment that requires real leadership. She must vote no on the continuing resolution. It’s time to hold our elected officials accountable.
Take Action Now
