I’m writing to urge you to oppose H.R. 1, the House budget reconciliation bill, and its harmful cuts to vital government programs.
I'm very concerned about the massive increase in the federal deficit, the cuts to student aid, the cuts to federal worker retirement benefits, the defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the roll back of the Inflation Reduction Act's urgent climate-focused programs, the elimination of gun silencer taxes, the remittance tax on immigrants, and the partisan attack on federal regulations.
Congress should pass a fair and responsible budget that helps working families and communities, not one that slashes our benefits to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
