An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reject draconian budget; a billionaire tax giveaway burdening everyday Americans

6,139 so far! Help us get to 10,000 signers!

I vehemently urge you to reject the destructive Republican budget reconciliation bill. This proposal is a craven effort to fund tax cuts for the wealthy by gutting vital programs that support working families and protect our environment.   The bill's $800 billion in cuts to Medicaid will strip healthcare from millions of low-income Americans, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. This callous attack on our social safety net is morally reprehensible.   Furthermore, the provision to increase funding for ICE by over $1 billion will only escalate the human rights abuses of mass deportations that tear families apart. We must stop treating undocumented immigrants as criminals.   Perhaps most alarming is the green light given to sell off public lands for fossil fuel exploitation. At a time when we face an existential climate crisis, this reckless giveaway to oil and gas corporations is unconscionable. Our public lands are a shared resource that must be preserved for future generations.   Beyond these egregious examples, the bill's draconian cuts to student aid, attack on consumer protections, undermining of judicial authority, and corporate handouts represent a full-scale assault on the public good. Budgets are a statement of priorities and values - this one prioritizes greed over people.   I implore you to summarily reject this destructive bill. Stand up for the working families of this nation, not the narrow interests of the wealthy few. Defend our environment, healthcare, and democracy itself by voting no on this shameful proposal. The world is watching.
