Take the below text. Customize it for your state, then go to the website of your members of Congress and paste it in their form.
We are once again focusing on the budget, as the current budget expires on March 14. Also please share with other resisters.
Dear { } --
Please remind your Republican counterparts that as the majority party, their job is to put forth a budget. To pass, the budget must reflect the priorities of the American people, the 99%, not the richest 1%.
The American people have made it clear at recent town halls that they want certain programs protected. Americans want Social Security but the Republican budget calls for cutting 7,000 jobs at Social Security. Americans want Medicaid protected, but Republicans want massive cuts to this program to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Republicans want to cut the IRS, but every American knows that it is the rich who cheat on their taxes, not the poor.
Please make it clear to every news and social media outlet that Republicans have had since November to create a budget.
And every time a Republican mentions DOGE, please remind them that a Continuing Resolution funds government at existing levels, so any Republican supporting DOGE has no business voting for a CR. Make it clear that Republicans don't get both -- they must vote to make DOGE legally responsive to Congress and only then will they get support for a CR.
We support your efforts to pass a budget that reflects America's priorities.
