I am writing to express my full support for any measures necessary to block the current illegal actions of the administration, including a government shutdown. education programs. The proposed Continuing Resolution is wholly unacceptable, especially because it interferes with the local budget of D.C. and contains cuts to important Even if it were not, I urge you to oppose any CR or budget proposal that lacks a strong measure enforcing Congress' power of the purse such that Trump cannot continue his illegal cuts without oversight. For example, all attempts to cut budgets or fire employees coming from the Executive (not purely internal) must be approved by a bipartisan committee before the orders go out. Any orders sent without such approval shall be summarily ignored and redirected to said committee, not followed. This is our best chance to take back Congressional authority over spending and save lifesaving federal agencies! Do not back down- your constituents have your back. Thank you.
