Republicans and Right-leaning Independents
Hello/Hi, I am a constituent of the Senator’s/Representative’s. My zip code is [your zip].
I am calling to say that I am beyond alarmed that Secretary Rubio and Pete Marocco are putting nearly all remaining USAID personnel on administrative leave, including bringing back all personnel from USAID
Missions!
I am deeply concerned for our national security, Americans’ health, lives and livelihoods. Tens of thousands of American jobs are being lost!
And how will the Senator/Representative protect us when ISIS combatants leave unguarded prisons? How will he/she keep Mpox from reaching our shores or HIV/AIDS from mutating?
The Senator/Representative MUST DO SOMETHING! The Secretary and Marocco have no legal authority to do dissolve USAID! Only Congress can do that.
These actions are stunningly reckless, and I strongly urge the Senator/Representative to call on Secretary Rubio to reinstate USAID and restore its funding while he seeks lawful ways to reform our foreign assistance.
Thank you, and I will be following the Senator’s/Representative’s actions on this matter very closely.
Democrats and Left-leaning Independents
Hello/Hi, I am a constituent of the Senator’s/Representative’s. My zip code is [your zip].
First, I want to thank the Senator/Representative and other Democrats for fighting to protect USAID.
I am calling today to say that I am beyond alarmed that Secretary Rubio and Pete Marocco are putting nearly all remaining USAID personnel on administrative leave, including bringing back all personnel from USAID Missions!
As you know, the Secretary and Marocco have no legal authority to do this! Only Congress can dissolve an independent federal agency.
I am deeply concerned for our national security, Americans’ health, lives and livelihoods. Tens of thousands of jobs are being lost!
And what happens when ISIS combatants leave unguarded prisons? How will the US keep Mpox from
reaching our shores or HIV/AIDS from mutating?
These actions are stunningly reckless, and I strongly urge the Senator/Representative to GRIND ALL
SENATE/HOUSE BUSINESS TO A HALT UNTIL THESE LAWLESS ACTIONS STOP and take all possible actions to bring the gravity of this situation to the public’s attention.
Thank you, and I will be following the Senator’s/Representative’s actions on this matter very closely.
