An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives

Help California

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I’m deeply concerned and angered by Republican threats to hold aid for California hostage to a debt ceiling increase. It is immoral and repugnant. California is literally subsidizing the rest of the United States, red states in particular, through the federal budget. In 2022, the most recent year for which information is available, it paid $83 billion more to the federal government than it got back. How dare anyone withhold funds from them in their moment of need, or tie that aid to anything? Give California what they need, no strings attached.
