No Taxpayer funds for Trump's Military Parade
To: Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn
From: A constituent in Bryan, TX
June 6
As a constituent and a concerned taxpayer, I am writing to express my strong opposition to any proposed use of public funds for a military parade intended to honor Donald Trump.
While I deeply respect our men and women in uniform, I do not believe that a taxpayer-funded display of military might, particularly for the benefit of a political figure, reflects the values of fiscal responsibility or national unity. Such a parade would be an unnecessary expense at a time when those funds could be far better used addressing real needs — from veterans' healthcare and mental health services to infrastructure, education, and disaster relief.
Our military deserves recognition, but not in a manner that politicizes their service or diverts limited resources from pressing domestic priorities. I urge you to oppose any funding for this parade and to advocate instead for investments that truly strengthen our nation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope you will stand for prudent governance and responsible use of our tax dollars.
