June 16, 2025 Dear Senators, We are grateful for your work on President Trump's first rescissions package. American families are sick and tired of their hard-earned taxpayer dollars being wasted by government bureaucrats and funding an agenda at war with their way of life. This package is a narrowly tailored, scalpel-like approach designed to go after the worst abusers of taxpayer dollars and codify some of DOGE’s most important work. The rescissions package targets corrupt USAID programs, taxpayer subsidies for ideologically biased public broadcasters NPR and PBS, and other programs that fail even a basic test of necessity in the budgeting process.
It gives many Members the first chance of their tenure to cut a dollar of current year wasteful spending to the tune of $9.4 billion. The Senate must stay laser focused on what conservatives promised to deliver to American families, make this the first in a series of spending cuts going forward, and start tackling our national debt crisis. This package should be the first of a longer series of cuts. Each one can go further, targeting programs that stray from constitutional purpose or national interest. As the United States stares down a $37 trillion national debt, your vote is ultimately the least the Senate can do in terms of reining in our bloated federal bureaucracy.
Thank you for your consideration. The time is now to stop the woke, wicked, and wasteful spending. Sincerely,
Marc Short Tim Chapman Chairman President Advancing American Freedom Advancing American Freedom
