Yep to clean CR — Conservatives need to vote Nope on any conditions/provisions. -- Nope —- leftist liberals withheld approval votes and demanded additional $1.5T during CR negotiations is criminal. Democrats can be on the right side of this by supporting the Vote for Clean CR; no additional taxpayer funding; no restoration of programs eliminated by BBB including taxpayer funding of NPR/PBS; no additional subsidies for failing ACA/Obamacare which has been receiving taxpayer subsidies since its inception. Most American citizens don’t realize they’ve been funding ACA for years while earning/paying for their own healthcare!
