The House has voted three times to keep the government open,  andwe’ve voted to  ensure that Members of Congress live by the same rules as all Americans.  The Democrat-led Senate voted to shut the government downinstead of putting themselves on Obamacare. The House has  acted to protect the American people from a government shutdown and an unworkable law - but the Senate refuses to compromise. House Republicansare asking the Senate to meet to listen the voice of the people, negotiate a solution and reopen the government. It's time for the Senate to join us at the negotiating table to achieve fairness for all.
