An Open Letter

To: Sen. Padilla, Rep. Huffman, Sen. Schiff

From: A verified voter in Forest Knolls, CA

September 2, 2025

NO on any budget proposal that doesn’t refill the budget for Medicaid. I would also like for you to lower the immense budget that has been given to ICE. It goes far beyond what is needed for border enforcement and has become a personal Gestapo for Donald Trump and a slush fund for private prison contractors. We need a budget in service to the American people not a budget that is weaponized against us. I don’t care if the government shuts down at this point because Trump is using the government against us. Congress needs to take back its control over spending and its other powers granted by the Constitution.
