Senate Majority Leader McConnell is planning to bring two bills to the floor for a vote this week. The first is an extreme anti-immigration bill that reads like Stephen Miller’s wish list.
The second vote is on a clean continuing resolution that would fund the government until Feb. 8. If it passes, it would mean that federal employees would finally get paid, affected programs would be funded, and our government would open back up.
It’s important that we first block Trump’s anti-immigrant bill, and then urge our NY State Senators to hold firm and open up the government by passing a clean CR.
Call Script:
Hello! My name is ___ and I’m calling from (part of state). I’m calling to thank Senator [Schumer, Gillbrand] for standing strong against Trump’s demands for wall funding and ask that they oppose the White House immigration bill when the Senate votes on it.
That bill has $5.7 BILLION for a wall and only provides temporary relief for SOME Dreamers and TPS holders. That is unacceptable. Senator[Schumer, Gillbrand] needs to force Mitch McConnell to put the House legislation reopening the government on the floor by opposing the White House bill and all other legislation until the government reopens.
Will Senator [Schumer, Gillbrand] vote “no” on the White House immigration bill?
You can then report on your call here. Thank you!
