Strip Conservative Pork From Budget

To: Sen. Hickenlooper, Rep. Crow, Sen. Bennet

From: A constituent in Littleton, CO

September 29, 2025

Strip the conservative waste out of the budget bills. The waste I am seeing is: - ads being played on tv for ICE positions. Everyone who pays the slightest attention knows ICE is hiring. - bonuses for ICE hires. Recruiting bonuses for domestic positions need to go away. - reduce the Department of Defense budget to no increase. If the other departments don’t need an increase they don’t either. - Remove the Golden Dome funding. Star Wars didn’t get off the ground. We have the Space Force. - strip any money used for renaming places or departments. - Strip funding private or commercial holding jails for immigrants. I am sure there are other pork items, I haven’t heard about. Strip them, too. Thank you for reading this.
