We write to ask you to join us in sending a letter to President Trump urging him to implement the recommendations of his Commission.
We ask that you join us in opposing H.R. 3219 – Make America Secure Appropriations Act, 2018 which wastes $1.6 billion on an unnecessary border wall.
We write to urge you to support the Polis-Lee amendment to H.R. 3219 – the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2018. Our important amendment is a 1% reduction in the total amount of overall funds appropriated to the DoD.
As the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ways and Means, we are writing to urge you to oppose any amendment to abolish or reduce funding for the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). On a bipartisan basis, we agree that CBO plays a vital role
in the legislative process. We rely on CBO’s analysts to provide fair, impartial, and fact-based analysis. Without that analysis, Congress could not do its work or stay within the very budget constraints we set up for ourselves in law.
Please cosponsor The Inclusive Prosperity Act (H.R. 1144). The bill enacts a financial transaction tax (FTT) which economists estimate would raise between $100 billion to $300 billion
annually which could be used to upgrade infrastructure; expand research and development; meet human needs, such as health care, education, affordable housing, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment; climate change mitigation; international development and more.
I ask you to support and become an original cosponsor of a bipartisan bill that would prohibit members of Congress and other employees in the Legislative Branch from flying first-class on the taxpayer dime by becoming an original cosponsor
of the Coach-Only Airfare for Capitol Hill (COACH) Act.
Please join us in becoming a cosponsor of H.R. 2299, the “Currency Optimization, Innovation, and National Savings Act of 2017,” the COINS Act, which would replace the dollar bill with the dollar coin and conduct a GAO study on the production of the penny.
I am writing to invite you to cosponsor H.R. 121, the Emergency Flood Control Supplemental Funding Act of 2017. H.R. 121 would authorize the supplemental appropriations for the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control projects and storm damage reduction
projects in areas affected by flooding in Houston, Texas, and for other purposes.
