• FMA Urges Congress to Avert a Government Shutdown - September 30, 2025

• To all FMA Members,

  Today, FMA National President Craig Carter and Director of Government Affairs Greg Stanford are on Capitol Hill urging members of Congress to prevent a federal government shutdown. While every American has their thoughts on how our country should be run, a government shutdown is never good. It isn’t fair to FMA members, every federal employee and their families, and it is not fair to American citizens who pay their taxes and rightly expect Congress and the government to effectively work on their behalf. On September 24, 2025, President Carter sent a letter to every member of Congress imploring them to avert a shutdown.

  If you have not already sent an FMA action letter asking your senators and representative to avoid a shutdown, please write them now. It only takes a few minutes. Send action letters on your own time, and never from a government device.\

  Finally, if we find ourselves in a government shutdown tomorrow, here are some useful resources our friends at FEEA have pulled together. Please take a look and share with your colleagues.

  As always, FMA will keep fighting for you! Thank you for your service to our country.

  

  FMA National President Craig Carter and Director of Government Affairs Greg Stanford meet with Rep. James Walkinshaw (VA).
