Stop the Furloughs and Cancel the Sequester!

Stop the Furloughs and Cancel the Sequester!

The Issue

This Sequester is completely uncalled for and unnecessary. It’s not fair to constantly target federal workers who are already under the strain of a 3-year pay freeze. These furloughs days negatively impact the ability of Federal employees to carry out the mission of their respective Agency/Department.  In addition, these across-the-board indiscriminate cuts due to Sequestration are hurting our children, seniors, and veterans.
