Well I won't back down, no I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of Hell

But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Shut it down and force THIS SAME CONGRESS to come back to pass the wall when we’ve finally broken Chuck. No new congress and no gavel for Nancy until they fund the wall. ESPECIALLY no cushy retirement and book tour for Jeff Snake.

The upper chamber of the Senate used a voice vote to pass
a deal to avoid a government shutdown, but some are still
pushing President Trump to veto the bill which doesn’t
include funding for the wall.

***************

Whenever Democrats talk about bipartisanship or compromise it always means “let’s do it our way”. Unfortunately, Republicans believe the ruse and always fall for it.

Keep it in session until they pass it. No funding for the wall, then no Christmas vacation for you.
