An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Stop the Illegal Blocking of Funding
14 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
I am counting on you to speak out and take action against the unconstitutional executive order issued Monday, January 27, that is intended to freeze the funding of programs previously authorized by Congress. This action is blatantly illegal. The Executive Branch cannot unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid.
You must take action to stop this descent into authoritarianism and fascism. Tell the members of the Executive Branch that the United States is a Republic, not a monarchy. Please clarify what you and other sane members of Congress will do to stop this freeze, and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by this cruel and illegal action will not be harmed.
Thank you.
