A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven't been paid in four weeks. The pressure of it all has led to panic attacks: "We don't deserve this."

Californiaβs Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, weβre going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. 
Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.
