Stop OMB's Illegal Funding Cuts

To: Sen. Warner, Sen. Kaine, Rep. McClellan

From: A constituent in North Chesterfield, VA

July 21

Block the Office of Management and Budget's unlawful funding freezes now. OMB does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold congressionally appropriated funds. When Congress passes a budget and the President signs it, that money must be spent as directed. An executive agency overriding that process isn't a policy disagreement — it's a constitutional violation. These cuts have real consequences. Programs that communities depend on — housing assistance, public health funding, education grants — are being strangled not by a vote of Congress but by an administrative memo. That is not how our government is supposed to work, and I expect you to say so loudly. Use every tool available: demand hearings, support legal challenges, and make clear that this branch of government will not cede its power of the purse without a fight.
