This is a copy of a letter that I sent to my democratic senators and congresswoman. Please let your elected representatives know your concerns

IWe pay taxes to support the work of our government.
We vote for congressional representatives who are constitutionally authorized to decide how the government will spend our tax dollars. The president does not have the authority to single handedly override the spending authority of congress.

Trump is halting support for popular programs that millions of Americans — especially children, students, and seniors — rely on.

All while gearing up to give his billionaire buddies and giant corporations another giant tax cut.
Trump's illegal freeze on billions of dollars allocated by law could:

-Hurt people in federally subsidized housing
-Block maternal and child health grants
-Halt emergency public health efforts
-Limit lead reduction efforts
-Hurt students on scholarship
-Harm hospitals

And much more.

This is personal to me as the treatment that I am receiving right now to save my life comes from significant advances in strategies to fight cancer. Cancer touches people you love regardless of who you voted for, or any of the labels we use to divide us.
