I'm writing demand that you oppose H.R. 1, the budget reconciliation bill, and its harmful cuts to vital government programs.
Specifically, I’m very concerned about…
-the massive increase to the federal deficit, (and)
-the devastating cuts to Medicaid, (and)
-the restrictions on Medicare eligibility and increased cost burden for Medicare-Medicaid dual enrollees,
(and)
-the funding increase for ICE and Trump’s mass deportation operation, (and)
-the sale of millions of acres of public lands to private buyers and fossil fuel companies, (and)
-the widespread roll back of clean energy tax incentives and climate protections, (and)
-the unprecedented funding cuts to SNAP, (and)
-the unconstitutional limits on a court’s ability to issue certain rulings, (and)
-the funding cuts to gender-affirming care for patients of all ages, (and)
-the funding cuts to Planned Parenthood clinical care, (and)
-the 10-year ban on state AI regulation, (and)
-the private school voucher program that pulls money from public schools, (and)
the increased tax on college endowments, (and)
-the changes to student loan access and repayment options, (and)
-the changes to federal worker pay and benefits, (and)
-the defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, (and)
-the elimination of gun silencer taxes.
Congress should pass a fair and responsible budget that helps working families and communities, not one that slashes our benefits to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
