Condemn President Trump's illegal funding freeze; restore grants, loans
To: Sen. Raybould, Gov. Pillen
From: A constituent in Lincoln, NE
January 28, 2025
President Trump's decision to freeze all federal grants and loans is extremely concerning and blatantly illegal. Financial assistance programs were duly authorized and funded by Congress, and the Executive Branch does not have the authority to unilaterally pause or defund them without proper justification and process. This move threatens to disrupt vital services and aid millions rely on for healthcare, education, housing, infrastructure and more. I urge you to forcefully condemn this action, take steps to block its implementation through the courts if necessary, and ensure the timely restoration of federal funding streams. American families and communities should not be used as political bargaining chips. Please act swiftly to prevent catastrophic disruptions and uphold the rule of law.
