I am writing to ask that you demand that Senator Schumer step down as Senate Minority Leader. Senator Schumer has once again demonstrated ineffective leadership by allowing the passage of the spending bill with a last-minute provision tacked on. This provision could result in millions of taxpayer dollars being paid out to Senators if their phone records become part of an investigation. This is self-dealing at its worst, and it is completely unacceptable that Senator Schumer agreed to this language being added to the bill, particularly when he could not keep his caucus together to prevent the passage. Leader Schumer has shown he is not up for this fight. It’s time to call on Schumer to step down.
