A federal program has kept my family connected. Please don't let it shut down.

In this economy, life as a working mom and caregiver for my grandma makes me feel like a magician. I pull rabbits out of my hat constantly. Every day, I somehow make a dollar out of 15 cents. Whether it’s the car payment, utilities, childcare, or rent, the economy does a great disappearing act with my income. A new program to lower the cost of my monthly internet, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has helped my daily magic show. It’s why I’m surprised to hear politicians in Washington are talking about letting it vanish in April. Congress needs to work together to save the program. Our politicians should be in the business of lowering costs and raising incomes for everyday Americans and parents just like me. That’s their job. It’s why we sent them to Washington. It baffles me how those in Washington, who’ve never felt the terror on payday of looking at your bank account and knowing your paycheck won’t cover the bills that month, could even think of not funding the ACP.
