Oppose the CR supported by the GOP

To: Sen. Duckworth, Sen. Durbin

From: A constituent in Chicago, IL

March 12, 2025

We need Democratic Senators to hold the line and not allow this CR to pass. It gives Trump more power on the budget and hurts Americans. The Democrats can stop it. It cannot be moved to a floor vote without 60 senators. Republicans don't have 60. What this CR aims to do: Republicans want to give up the right to vote on budget issues for the next 6 months and instead give complete control to the president. They are using the risk of a government shutdown to push this bill. Dont let them do this! This bill will grant Trump with king-powers to further dismantle the U.S government departments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPzO9qi-yvI https://www.govexec.com/federal-news/2025/03/house-passes-gop-funding-bill-avoid-government-shutdown/403665/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/house-passes-bill-to-fund-federal-agencies-through-september
