Subject: Oppose H.R. 1968 and Hold Republicans Accountable Dear [Senator/Representative], I am writing to express my strong opposition to the current Republican-led funding bill, H.R. 1968, which threatens to dismantle essential federal services and undermine the well-being of our communities. I urge you to vote against this bill and hold the Republican Party accountable for their actions. Key Concerns: • Government Dismantling: Under the leadership of President Trump and with the influence of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), there has been a concerted effort to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, leading to significant layoffs and the elimination of vital services. citeturn0news31 • Partisan Exclusion: The proposed funding bill was drafted without any input from Democratic members, reflecting a partisan approach that disregards the need for bipartisan collaboration in governance. citeturn0news30 • Misaligned Priorities: The bill proposes increased funding for defense and immigration enforcement while cutting non-defense discretionary spending by $13 billion, neglecting critical domestic programs that support public health, education, and infrastructure. citeturn0news30 • Local Impact: The bill mandates a $1 billion budget cut for Washington, D.C., which could severely impact essential city services, including schools and public safety. citeturn0news30 Call to Action: • Vote Against H.R. 1968: Reject the current funding proposal that undermines essential public services and lacks bipartisan support. • Demand Transparency: Highlight and oppose the bill's provisions that are clearly detrimental and corrupt, ensuring that the public is informed about the potential negative impacts. • Hold Republicans Accountable: Emphasize that with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, the responsibility to pass a fair and effective funding bill lies with the Republican Party. If the bill fails and the government shuts down, it is due to their inability to govern effectively. Your steadfast opposition to this bill is crucial in protecting the integrity of our federal government and the services it provides to all Americans. Stand firm against these partisan efforts and advocate for a funding solution that truly serves the public interest.
