REJECT cuts to health care and food assistance!

To: Rep. Onder, Sen. Schmitt, Sen. Hawley

From: A verified voter in Jefferson City, MO

September 9, 2025

REJECT additional cuts to critical programs and services that would compound the DEVASTATING cuts YOU voted for in the recent budget reconciliation bill. At a time when far too many families are struggling to stay afloat — paying more for everything from groceries to rent to health care — YOUR FAILURE to address pending health care and food assistance cuts threatens to pull the rug out from under them when they can least afford it. I am outraged that YOU have chosen to prioritize massive tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy over the health and lives of the constituents you pledged to protect. I demand you DEFEND the families, children, senior citizens, and all people who rely on these basic needs programs by: - Supporting funding levels consistent with FY24 funding to anti-poverty programs and nondefense discretionary public services without poison pill policy riders in the FY26 appropriation bills - Demanding support for ACA premium tax credits and rolling back Medicaid and SNAP cuts as a condition to supporting the continuing resolution
