There’s a popular meme going around, and it’s very well intentioned.
First, a little background.
Right now, as I type this on Election Day 2025, the Republicans are holding the federal government hostage. They have shutdown the government, the longest shutdown in history. They are seeking to eliminate any program or entire agency they don’t like. They are, in essence, burning down our federal government.
One of their many targets is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. This program provides food assistance to our neediest neighbors.
The popular meme going around is that we can’t let our neighbors starve (I agree) and we can’t count on Republicans (often left implied or unspoken, but accurate, and I agree) and therefore we must all pitch in to feed the neediest in our midst.
I disagree.
I believe the Congress must do their job.
I’m not asking for any new programs, although this would be very reasonable given the economic downturn the Trump Administration has wrought with their Tariff Taxes and other attacks on our economy, like sabotaging our best universities.
All we’re asking is that Congress do their job. Finance the government. Reclaim your constitutional responsibility. Make the spending decisions. Rebuke a President with authoritarian tendencies.
Fund the government. Feed our people. This isn’t the responsibility of average citizens. And a few unwanted cans of lima beans aren’t gonna fix this problem anyway.
Call Congressman Gabe Evans and tell him to do his job!

Don’t let them burn down the federal government, and certainly don’t scramble around to cover for their inept and heartless approach to governing. Demand Congress get to work!
