Say NO to passing the CR

To: Sen. Durbin, Sen. Duckworth

From: A verified voter in Libertyville, IL

March 13

Vote NO on the House Continuing Resolution, but offer to vote YES if Republicans simply agree that Congress retains the power of the purse, and Trump is accountable for spending money that Congress has allocated—and Musk has no legitimate say with regard to funding approved by Congress. This way, you make clear that you are willing to play ball and negotiate, as long as the other side will do the same. If Republicans refuse, then THEY own the resulting shut down. And you continue to hammer that message throughout the shut down: We will happily pass the CR if Trump (and by extension, Musk) are held accountable for spending that Congress has refused. Thank you.
