An Open Letter

To: Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand

From: A constituent in Larchmont, NY

April 28, 2025

senate_both I am writing to ask my NY senators to use all the procedural tools available to them to stall Trump and Musk’s agenda in Congress and force them to negotiate. They’re speeding our country down a dangerous path, and we cannot leave any option to slow them down on the table. That means using quorum calls, objecting to unanimous consent, demanding recorded votes, refusing to waive rules, fighting adjournments and putting more holds on nominees. Whatever time-consuming measures the rules allow. I was very happy to see folks like Senators Gallego, Schiff, Schatz and Blumenthal using the hold, senators forcing a tariff vote. I think that’s making a difference. But we can’t stop there. We need you to do everything in your power. Thank you.
