POTUS don't let Congress separate COVID funding from defense funding!
56 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!
President Biden, I support your efforts to aid the Ukrainian people in their defense against Russian aggression. I also support Speaker Pelosi's call to combine additional Ukraine aid with the Bipartisan COVID Supplemental Appropriations Act to continue funding our defense against the pandemic and to arm ourselves against the danger of new variants and new plagues forced into human environments by global warming.
Big defense industry donors to the Republican Party are eager for the additional sales that will be generated by more military aid to Ukraine. So Democrats must not repeat the mistake they made when they severed infrastructure projects in the BBB Act from investments in people and the environment. If ever there was a time to stand firm against Republican intransigence and bullying and to seek Republican votes to overcome a filibuster, it is on the issue of combined Ukraine and COVID-19 defense. Thanks.
