Sample TWEETS:

Instead of working w/ Dems on a #budget that will create jobs for hard-working Americans, @HouseGOP has decided not to pass a budget at all.

Here's an idea, @SpeakerRyan: A #budget that invests in the future! Let's build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

.@HouseGOP<mailto:.@HouseGOP> has continuously refused to provide meaningful new funds for communities struggling against the tragedy of opioid addiction.

#DoYourJob, @HouseGOP. Let's pass new funds to meaningfully address this dangerous opioid epidemic that kills 78 Americans daily.

The growing #Zika threat demands immediate passage of @POTUS' full funding request. @HouseGOP's proposal is woefully inadequate. #DoYourJob!

.@HouseGOP<mailto:.@HouseGOP>, it's wrong to shortchange the resources American communities need to confront the very serious #Zika virus threat. #DoYourJob!

.@HouseGOP<mailto:.@HouseGOP> wants communities to make do w less than 1/3 of what America’s top public health officials say we need to protect against #Zika.

.@HouseDemocrats<mailto:.@HouseDemocrats>: Benghazi Committee Chair Is Ignoring Statement By GOP Lawyer → http://goo.gl/1AqUxi via @TPM

.@HouseGOP's<mailto:.@HouseGOP's> Select Committee to Attack Hillary Clinton has now wasted 2 yrs & nearly $7 million in taxpayer dollars. Americans deserve better!
