Please vote NO to cloture and NO to the CR budget. I am an NIH-funded investigator running one of the largest neurodevelomental delay programs in the county. I am a member of the National Academy of Medicine. If the decimation of NIH, Medicaid, USAID, academic institutions, etc continues for the next six months under the CR there will be NOTHING LEFT to protect. Imagine that a large percentage of your staff have been fire already and budgets precipitously cut. And then imagine that accelerating for another six months. I have NO DOUBT that you would vote NO. Please extend the same perspective to your constituents.
