An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Shut down Senate business until illegal freeze is lifted

8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I support this strategy proposed by Indivisible: Late Tuesday night, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memo ordering a freeze on “all federal financial assistance.”  This isn’t a just policy memo—it’s a revolution, and we can’t let it be a quiet one. Trump is dismantling the Constitution, claiming the power to decide which laws to enforce, and throwing millions of lives into chaos.  Senate Democrats must fight like hell: shut down the Senate, refuse to negotiate, and make this fight unavoidable. Your call will remind them that the stakes are nothing less than our democracy—and the lives of millions of Americans. There are several ways that they can grind the business in the Senate to a halt, including: -Committing to oppose all of Trump’s nominees unless OMB reverses their guidance and releases the funds -Denying any GOP requests for Unanimous Consent that would speed up floor proceedings -Opposing all cloture votes to further stall floor proceedings -Requesting a Quorum Call at every possible opportunity to force Senators to physically be on the floor for business to proceed  Will you commit to shutting down Senate business and refusing cooperation until this illegal freeze is lifted?
