Richmond Statement on Status of Continuing Resolution | 2013-10-02 | 2013 | 2013-10 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after none of the House majority’s latest three bills, which broke up the Continuing Resolution, passed in the House of Representatives: “We have an obligation in Congress to get the entire government up and running again! Today’s effort by the GOP confirms that they are out of touch with the American people and don’t understand the gravity of a shutdown. I will not support wasting more time with mini bills that only offer empty rhetoric instead of a real solution. How can we pick and choose what stays open and what remains closed when people’s livelihoods are on the line? I won’t do it. There are 800,000 furloughed federal employees who lie in the balance of this ruthless standoff. “This is a piecemeal approach that selectively addresses some areas and not others – that’s not how you run a government. These bills don’t even scratch the surface to delivering a solution that ends this shutdown and gets federal employees back to work. We are wasting precious time that we don’t have and literally can’t afford to waste. Republicans need to get serious because we are in serious times.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
