The House legislation to fund the government through September puts social safety nets at risk by cutting non-defense spending while increasing military appropriations. Partisan gridlock jeopardizes essential public services that millions rely on. As an elected representative, your duty is to all constituents, not just those of one party. I urge you to reject this divisive bill that sacrifices human needs for ideological priorities. Responsible governance demands negotiating in good faith to pass a budget that funds vital domestic programs and national defense responsibly without favoring special interests over working families.
