Dear patriot, I will be voting no on this terrible budget deal. It explodes the spending caps, balloons the deficit and betrays conservatives and the Constitution. Here in the House the only tool at our disposal is our vote. It is up to the Senate to stop this. Conservative senators must use every unique legislative tool the Senate allows to block this bill. Americans will be watching to see which senators lead by fighting to block this vote, and who follows the D.C. establishment by voting no, but it allowing the deal to move forward. This deal is absolutely not an incremental step to lower spending. It increases spending. And it makes Obama’s exploding deficits and budgets the official policy of the Republican Party. We will be watching to see which senators use the Senate’s rule to block this bill. Please contact your senators and member of the House at 202-225-3121 to tell them what you think. Warmest wishes, Congressman Steve Stockman P.S. I will be voting against the proposed federal budget deal. It endorses rising spending and deficits, and makes them permanent by making them Republican Party policy. Here in the House we can vote no, but senators have many legislative tools at their disposal to block a vote. It is up to the Senate to stop this. Americans will be watching to see which senators lead, and who follows the D.C. establishment by allowing a vote. What do you think? You may contact your senators and House member at 202-225-3121 to let them know. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
