'There's only so long I can hold out'
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Denver (via Twitter)
It’s Day 20. @POTUS & @senatemajldr are blocking our efforts to reopen the government. And they’re getting paid. Meanwhile, federal employees across the country won't receive paychecks tomorrow. That’s outrageous. As I’ve done before, I will donate my paycheck.— Michael Bennet (@SenatorBennet) January 10, 2019

“I strongly support efforts to take further action to increase funding for border security and begin to fix our broken immigration system. That said, I don’t believe shutting down the government is the best course of action. Instead, we should fund border security, end the partial government shutdown, and then continue to fight to get even more border security funding in the long term.”
As the new Congress begins, it’s critical that both sides come together to find a bipartisan solution to fund the remaining parts of the government.— Cory Gardner (@SenCoryGardner) January 3, 2019

"Illegal immigration and border security are among the greatest challenges facing our country today. I believe we must enforce our nation’s Rule of Law and create a secure border. It is time for both sides to come together to find a solution to reopen the government and secure the necessary funding to protect our nation’s borders in a fiscally responsible manner."

I'm heading home today to hear from folks in #CO06 who have been impacted by the shutdown. While the President holds our gov't hostage, thousands of federal employees and their families are going without a paycheck. It's time for President Trump to #EndtheShutdown.— Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) January 11, 2019

Our top priority right now must be to end this government shutdown and make sure all of our federal workers are fully compensated. As long as these workers aren’t getting paid, I won’t take my paycheck either.— Rep. Diana DeGette (@RepDianaDeGette) January 10, 2019
