STAND FIRM against funding DHS / ICE - get meaningful change

To: Sen. Merkley, Rep. Salinas, Sen. Wyden

From: A constituent in Wilsonville, OR

January 20

I am disgusted at the word that Democrats will cave on the DHS spending package. No freaking way is a paltry few million noticeable in their budget. Significant budget reductions AND significant oversight and tactic-change requirements are BOTH needed. Not getting any noticeable part of either of these concessions is a slap in the face to every US resident - and a clear disregard for our safety. You need to get a better deal. If you can't get a better deal, you need to vote AGAINST this one. And you need to replace your leadership if they are trying this garbage. We need a leader among the Democrats who will actually stand for the rights of the people, not posture for the media.
