Hillary Clinton shares numbers of senators, encourages people to call them to end shutdown
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday shared the phone numbers of senators on Twitter and urged followers to call them to end the government shutdown.
"The government shutdown is by far the longest in U.S. history," she wrote. "It's put hundreds of thousands of people under financial stress and endangered our security. Join a National Call In Day to end it."
Clinton also included a link to a page on Indivisible's website with a brief summary of the shutdown, call scripts for senators and representatives and a link to find lawmakers' phone numbers.
The page on Indivisible, a liberal nonprofit, asks callers to tell their lawmakers to pass "a clean continuing resolution [CR] that would fund the government until Feb. 8," without increased funding for border security.
The page also tells people that they can help by visiting lawmakers' offices, making calls and supporting federal workers affected by the shutdown.
