Rep. Rogers: Democrats’ Shutdown Hurts our Troops and Weakens National Security WASHINGTON – Today, House Armed Services Committee Chairman, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (AL-03) , issued a statement condemning the Democrats’ government shutdown for its detrimental effects on national security and the harm it is causing our troops. “Shutting the government down disproportionally harms our servicemembers and their families, threatens military readiness, and undermines our national security,” said Chairman Mike Rogers. “Democrats are forcing American servicemembers to work without pay and delaying delivery of critical capabilities to our warfighters just to appease their radical left wing. We have a duty to support the men and women who defend our country. House Republicans have passed a clean extension of government funding with no gimmicks or partisan priorities. By refusing to vote for this continuing resolution, Democrats are refusing to support our troops.” ###
