An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Take Back Congressional Authority & Fund What We Need Funded

One in 100 babies in the U.S. are born with heart defects, and about a quarter of them need surgery or other procedures in their first year to survive, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. World wide 240,000 babies die of congenital defects yearly. Cornell received a grant of about $6 million over 4 years to finish testing the device before it could become available. DOGE cancelled the funding. Staff will be laid off shortly and children will die. I am fed up with this. I want you to take back Congressional authority and fund the projects that we the people need funded. I will listen for your words and watch your actions. P.S. Here is a link to the reference news story for you and your staff to review, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pediaflow-research-babies-heart-defects-trump-administration-rcna197155
