Tell Congress: No money for Trump’s ballroom or ICE detention

 

THE DEBT AND DEFICIT ARE EXPLODING DUE TO THE BIG BEAUTIFUL 

DISASTER!  WE CAN'T AFFORD TRUMP'S VANITY PROJECTS! 

LET'S TAKE CARE OF AMERICANS FIRST: PROVIDE HEALTH CARE 

AND RESTORE FOOD FUNDING!

Congress is moving forward with a budget bill that would meet Trump’s vain and cruel demands: Trump wants to spend $1 billion of your taxpayer dollars on a gaudy new ballroom to replace the East Wing of the White House which he illegally demolished And he wants another $70 billion to pay for more ICE detentions and Border Patrol agents which will undoubtedly lead to more violence in our communities We’re seeing even some Republican members of Congress express skepticism about parts of this bill. The ballroom funding in particular is such a visible symbol of Trump’s wastefulness and self-interest, so out-of-touch with what people all across the country are experiencing, that some Republicans could even oppose it. This disastrous budget bill isn’t a done deal yet. So now is the time to lean hard on every member of Congress. No matter who represents you, they need to hear from you. Every Democrat needs to stay strong while Trump and his allies do whatever they can to pressure them. (Even if you know where they stand, they need to hear from their constituents.) And every Republican needs to hear, again and again, just how unpopular this bill is among the people they’re supposed to represent. Send an email to your members of Congress right away. Tell them: Trump is demanding billions of dollars to build a ballroom vanity project and grow his inhumane ICE and Border Patrol operations. You must reject this budget bill and put the American people first. Thanks for taking action, George Public Citizen
