Concerns Regarding H.R. 7356: SCHUMER Act
To: Rep. Castor
From: A constituent in Saint Petersburg, FL
April 19
The proposed H.R. 7356, or the SCHUMER Act, which mandates Members of Congress advocating for military support for Ukraine to serve on active duty, raises serious concerns. It appears to be an attempt to deter support for Ukraine by imposing personal risk on lawmakers, rather than a genuine effort to ensure informed decision-making. This approach could potentially undermine the democratic process and the principle of civilian control over the military. It is crucial to consider the implications of such a bill on the functioning of our democratic institutions. Therefore, it is requested to reconsider the support for this bill.
