I want to thank you personally for voting No on Cloture today. I am incredibly discouraged by your fellow Democrats who chose to destroy what chance we had to stop this spending proposal. If we cannot stand united as a party the Democrats will never accomplish what is required to handle the tasks in front of us as a nation. Chuck Schumer confused the party and is not reading his constituents or the other Democrats in this country well. He is out of touch and is pursuing his own ends instead of those he was elected to represent. Democrats need new leadership who can provide clear, in touch, consistent messaging that will move the needle back to the left- and we need it yesterday! It is PAST time for Rep. Schumer to step down from his leadership position before we cannot do anything about the Trump administration and their violent policies and destruction. I want you to vote no on the coming budget proposal, but I NEED you to push for Rep. Schumer’s replacement. Trump’s current track is already affecting my family’s expenses and will soon affect my husband’s job and my medical care, which is life or death. I am begging you to remember the people who voted for you. Thank you for doing as much as you did today, I can only hope this letter persuades you to help do what needs to be done.
