.@SenateBudget Dems are protesting unprecedented decision not to hold a hearing on the President's budget request: http://1.usa.gov/1SFVDYr 

We may all have our disagreements, but it is disappointing that the GOP refuses to give us a forum to discuss them.

The Budget Comm. has an important institutional role, and fulfilling it requires coordination between the exec. and legislative branches.

This decision runs counter to repeated calls by the majority for regular order in the Senate.

It is disappointing that the majority talks so much about government dysfunction, and ignores one of our primary responsibilities.

In the history of the Committee, no matter who was in the majority or the White House, we have always analyzed the President’s request.

It is outrageous that the Republican majority on the Budget Committee refuses to hold a hearing on the President’s budget.

Wall Street lobbyists have tried to repeal Dodd-Frank with appropriations riders before. America deserves better. #NoRiders #CleanBudget

Nearly 200 groups are coming together to tell Congress & the WhiteHouse: #NoRiders in the budget. #cleanbudget

Special interests are trying to sneak riders into the budget to avoid a real debate. #NoRiders #CleanBudget

The budget showdown isn't over yet. Congress still needs to pass a #cleanbudget with #noriders to avoid a shutdown. https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/budget/news/2015/11/02/124733/congress-passed-a-budget-deal-now-what/ …

A #CleanBudget means #NoRiders for Wall Street and protecting Main Street.
