32 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Hard NO on Trump's budget proposal and cuts. Cutting essential services of the government for the people of the US in order to fund an ILLEGAL war being carried out WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL, and during which WAR CRIMES are being committed is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Let's review just a few of the cuts proposed: $2.2 billion - Broadband and internet access programs $8.5 billion - Funding for public schools $1.5 billion - Vocational training and adult education (Fully eliminated) $2.7 billion - College access and higher education support $15.2 billion - Roads, bridges, and infrastructure projects $1.1 billion - Home energy efficiency and clean energy programs (Fully eliminated) $1.1 billion - Scientific research funding $386 million - Environmental cleanup $150 million - Cutting-edge clean energy research $4 billion - Help paying home heating and cooling bills for low-income families (Fully eliminated) $768 million - Refugee resettlement assistance $819 million - Care and shelter for migrant children $775 million - Local anti-poverty programs (Fully eliminated) $5 billion - Public health programs, mental health services, and disease prevention $5 billion - Medical research (NIH) $129 million - Healthcare quality and safety research $356 million - Emergency preparedness and disaster response $1.3 billion - FEMA community disaster preparedness grants $707 million - Cybersecurity protection for critical infrastructure $52 million - Airport and transportation security All these cuts jeopardise our lives and well-being. What kind of failed government gives tax cuts to billionaires, spends BILLIONS of dollars on unauthorised wars, and spends HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS on Trump's weekly vacations while it slashing funding for healthcare, education, medical research, emergency and disaster services, and so many other essentials?!? Trump's budget cuts are malevolent and malignant. Where are the cuts to his weekly vacations and vanity projects? Please reject Trump's budget. No new funds for illegal wars. Reassert Congress's legally enshrined powers over war, appropriations, and tariffs. It's time to put the brakes on this rogue administration's ruinous policies. Please DO YOUR JOB for the people you serve and for the Constitution you're supposed to uphold.
