Griffith Statement on House Passage of Government Funding Bill
Tuesday, March 11, 2025 – The U.S. House of Representatives voted on a continuing resolution, H.R. 1968 – the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. This continuing resolution now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration. Government funding runs out at 11:59 pm on Friday, March 14.
Following passage of the continuing resolution, U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:
“While I generally do not support continuing resolutions, any delay in passing a government funding measure would interrupt the Trump Administration’s significant progress in securing our border and reining in government spending. As a result of their progress, border crossings at our southwest border are at historic lows and the government is going through an efficiency review.
“Accordingly, I supported the government funding bill to help President Trump carry out his popular agenda.”

I saw one comment earlier and now zero? Censoring public comments now.
The richest man in the world went on Fox Business and told the host that he and Trump were planning to cut Social Security benefits by as much as $700,000,000,000. He called Social Security “the big one to eliminate” on the way to the multitrillion-dollar tax cut for billionaires.
Musk is the biggest welfare queen who is planning to cut social security? We pay into social security.
What is our Congressman’s plan to protect social security and medicare?
What is the plan to protect medicaid for all of the nursing home residents and special needs adults who need medicaid?

Representatives are supposed to represent the people of their district.
How many top .5% wealthy people live in the 9th District? How many are at the wealth level that enjoy that tax cut?
How many people in the 9th would suffer because of the increased tax burden on working class people, losing Medicaid, losing SNAP, and losing government benefits we pay into to be there when we need it?
When did firing Veterans, Scientists, Park Rangers, Air Traffic Controllers, cutting off medical care, and ballooning the national deficit become a smarter idea than taxing billionaires?
Urge the US Senate to reject the House’s extremist, Republican continuing resolution (CR) that threatens essential programs and gives the immigrant from South Africa free reign to loot our federal government funds. Our tax dollars that Congress is supposed to manage.
Call your Senators now! Dial (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate offices you request. Ask to speak with the staffer working on budgetary issues or the chief of staff. Leave a message if they’re not available.
Tell them to vote NO on the House continuing resolution (CR) and filibuster it to kill it.
Tell them to vote yes on the Murray/DeLauro continuing resolution instead.
