An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Oppose/Vote NO on the Ballroom Bill

11 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Vote NO on the idiotic Graham-Britt-Schmitt legislation to spend $400 million in taxpayer funds on a 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom. This is not a national security priority. It's a vanity project. Tear up a copy of Graham’s bill at the next session to demonstrate contempt. Gas prices are over $4 per gallon. Families are struggling with the highest cost of living in decades. Consumer confidence is at an all-time low. The last thing Americans need right now is their national park fees and customs fees diverted to build a marble and gold ballroom for White House banquets. The White House Correspondents Association has held its dinner at the Washington Hilton for decades without incident until one shooting that Secret Service handled. Trump promised this project would be funded entirely by private donations from government contractors like Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Google. A federal court already ruled it must go through Congress. Now Republicans want taxpayers to cover $400 million while private money pays for fine china. Graham claims 90% of Americans support this, but Trump's approval rating is less than 40%. Americans want affordable healthcare, housing, childcare, and lower grocery prices. Not a ballroom. Vote NO.
