Budget Reconciliation Bill

To: Sen. Budd, Rep. Adams, Sen. Tillis

From: A constituent in Charlotte, NC

May 24, 2025

You must know in your heart that this big ugly budget reconciliation bill poses a grave threat to the well-being of American families and the foundations of our democracy. The provisions limiting federal judges' ability to hold the previous administration accountable are an egregious attack on the rule of law and checks and balances that underpin our system of government. Allowing the Trump regime to evade consequences would set a dangerous precedent of impunity for lawless behavior by those in power.   Furthermore, the draconian cuts to vital programs like Medicaid, Medicare (by triggering PAYGO), SNAP, and student aid will inflict immense hardship on millions of vulnerable Americans, including children, the elderly, and those already struggling to make ends meet. Depriving people of access to healthcare, food assistance, and education is not only cruel but will have devastating long- term consequences for individuals, families, and communities across the nation.   If you care about keeping your job after the 2026 elections, I urge you to resolutely oppose this destructive legislation that prioritizes tax breaks for the ultra- wealthy over the basic needs of ordinary citizens. Voters will not forget those who enabled such a callous disregard for the welfare of the people they are sworn to serve. The integrity of our democratic institutions and the well-being of our nation hang in the balance.   I IMPLORE YOU TO USE EVERY MEANS AT YOUR DISPOSAL TO BLOCK THIS UNCONSCIONABLE BIG FAT UGLY BILL FROM BECOMING LAW. THIS IS A FIVE-ALARM FIRE.
