Budget Betrayal

Tuesday, May 2, 2017

GOP leaders in Congress have completely surrendered control over federal spending to the Democrats.

The new spending bill written by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) represents yet another betrayal of the voters who elected them.

Instead of fighting for President Trump’s budget priorities, the bill funds Planned Parenthood, it funds sanctuary cities, it subsidizes Obamacare, and it fails to fund the border wall.

We gave them the House, the Senate, and the White House yet nothing has changed. President Trump was prepared to fight the Democrats, but GOP leaders in Congress refused.

What is the point of electing Republicans if they won’t fight?

This is why it is so important for Republican voters to elect true conservatives in the upcoming midterm elections. Electing Republicans who won’t stand up for our principles is pointless.

TAKE ACTION

Please call the senators below and urge them to oppose the fiscal year 2017 spending bill.

John Cornyn (R-TX) – (202) 224-2934
Tom Cotton (R-AR) – (202) 224-2353
Ted Cruz (R-TX) – (202) 224-5922
Joni Ernst (R-IA) – (202) 224-3254
Ron Johnson (R-WI) – (202) 224-5323
James Lankford (R-OK) – (202) 224-5754
Mike Lee (R-UT) – (202) 224-5444
Rand Paul (R-KY) – (202) 224-4343
Marco Rubio (R-FL) – (202) 224-3041
Ben Sasse (R-NE) – (202) 224-4224
Tim Scott (R-SC) – (202) 224-6121
Pat Toomey (R-PA) – (202) 224-4254

A vote for this bill is a vote to force American taxpayers to fund sanctuary cities, to fund Planned Parenthood, and to bailout insurance companies under Obamacare.

The bill even specifically prohibits the use of any funds to build the border wall that so many Americans voted for last year.

If Mitch McConnell wants to pass this spending betrayal, he should be forced to do it with the Democrats so the entire country can see what a dismal failure this bill is.

Thank you for standing strong for freedom and for being willing to fight for conservative leadership.
