An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No more rescissions! No CR.

14 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Stop Trump from illegally doing line item vetoes by making late rescission requests or simply withholding funds Congress has appropriated. The constitution does not grant that power to the executive. Now it's up to you in Congress to say NO and uphold the constitution against Trump's ILLEGAL executive overreach. The Supreme Court has betrayed history and the constitution by allowing Trump to have a line-item veto -- but you can vote against these. Do not fund this rogue illegal regime. Demand constitutional order. Congress's power of the purse is a fundamental principle of our constitution-- as you well know. Remember that Trump's first impeachment was for refusing to spend Congressionally appropriated funds for Ukraine? Remember the impoundment act of 1974? Remember that the president is supposed to see that the laws are faithfully executed? We expect our electeds to uphold their oaths and do the jobs they receive a salary for. That means ensuring that Congress deploys and defends its constitutional role and powers. I am outraged by the illegal destruction of constitutional order, federal agencies, our rights and the rule of law. I count on you to act with integrity. NO last minute rescissions. NO impoundment. NO more executive overreach and NO more of Congress ceding its authority to the President. Please vote no on the continuing resolution!
