Today’s Action: Tell the Senate to end the #FakeNationalEmergency
Senate Democrats have now been joined by four Republicans in signalling their intention to shut down Trump’s fake national emergency. These votes may be enough to push through the joint resolution which already passed in the House.
Trump’s fake national emergency has sideskirted the will of the people and ballooned the cost of his unwanted Mexico border wall from $5.7 to $8 billion (paid for by Mexico… Which is apparently Trump’s word for the American taxpayers).
Securing Senate co-sponsors on the resolution will be key to locking in the necessary votes, ensuring no Democrat or any of the four Republicans change their minds.
Call or email your Senators, and tell them to 1) cosponsor and vote YES on S.J.Res.10 to end the emergency and block any funds for the wall and 2) launch an investigation into abuses of power.
This illegal, undemocratic, and manufactured national emergency is a dangerous dictator-like step: 6 in 10 Americans are against it, Congress deliberately did NOT vote for it, and the ‘crisis’ is a manufactured and salacious lie to please Trump’s Twitter fanclub. There is NO emergency — undocumented immigrant numbers have actually dropped.
Congress is a ruling body equal to the presidency. For two years, Republicans in both chambers bent over backward to give Trump what he wanted. Now, Trump needs to grow up past a toddler’s understanding of negotiation and learn that throwing a tantrum won’t get him anywhere.
And…remind Republicans that they’re *supposed* to be the party that wants to limit the federal government’s power. Where are their so-called values when we actually agree with them?
