An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Vote No on the CR! Do NOT cave in to Republicans’ demands!

35 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

As a faithful Democrat who has worked extremely hard to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, l DEMAND that you change course and vote NO on the partisan continuing resolution that both enables Trump and Musk's attack on the rule of law and our government. Republicans are going to do this anyway! The only question is— are they going to do it Democrats’ help? This is NOT what voters want!!!! Do NOT vote for this terrible CR! Most Americans will blame the Republicans for a shutdown. Do not CAVE to their demands. This bill harms everyone—from veterans to children to the elderly, while impacting virtually every aspect of our lives, including public education and the staffing to help Social Security beneficiaries. It would allow drastic increases in funding for detention of immigrants with no oversight to prevent underfunding of efforts to combat illegal drugs or human trafficking. But—You know all of this. Any member of Congress who votes for this CR is aiding and abetting attacks on public health and nutrition, affordable housing, substance use treatment, veterans' care, and rural services. A vote for this CR is a vote for large-scale cuts to human needs programs and the continuation of indiscriminate firing of federal workers across the country, including 6,000 veterans, entrenching Elon Musk's attacks on our government and on civil servants. What you may not understand is the backlash you will face from voters if you vote for this. We will see it as a betrayal. If you can’t stand up for Americans, and back up the House of Representatives, you need to step down. We need a leaders and representatives who have the courage to use the ONLY leverage we have, and LISTEN to constituents, NOW, before it’s too late.
