No Big Ugly Bill!

I am writing to express my firm opposition to the proposed legislation referred to as the “Big Beautiful Bill.” While it is being marketed as a solution to national issues, this bill is nothing more than a deeply harmful overreach that will have devastating consequences—particularly in two key areas: immigration policy and healthcare access. 1. A Cruel and Un-American Immigration Agenda The immigration provisions in this bill are rooted in fear and punishment, not justice or national security. Expanding mass deportation powers, slashing humanitarian protections, and gutting the asylum process betray the values this country was built upon. Families fleeing violence and poverty deserve fair hearings—not militarized force or expedited removal without due process. This bill treats human lives as bargaining chips in a political game, and I refuse to support such cruelty in my name. 2. Stripping Medicaid from Vulnerable Communities Equally alarming is the attack on public health embedded in this bill. By targeting Medicaid access—particularly for low-income and immigrant populations—the bill threatens to strip medical care from thousands of people who depend on it for survival. These are working families, children, and elderly individuals who already face significant barriers to care. Removing their access to Medicaid won’t just cause suffering; it will increase uncompensated care costs, strain emergency rooms, and erode public health outcomes for entire communities. Healthcare is not a privilege for the few—it is a right that should not be politicized or weaponized. Punishing people by taking away their access to doctors, medications, and preventative care is not policy. It’s cruelty. I urge you to stand against this bill. Reject this fear-driven, extremist legislation. Refuse to support any measure that tears families apart, undermines due process, or takes healthcare away from those who need it most. As your constituent, I expect you to defend human dignity—not strip it away. I will be watching your vote, and I will remember your stance.
