To: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-12)
Postpone SOTU Until AFTER the 2019 Appropriations Act is Passed
Schedule the State of the Union Address AFTER the 2019 Appropriations Act is passed by Congress and signed by the President. This President plans to use the State of the Union to try to sell a border wall which a majority of Americans oppose. This President has also publicly claimed he will invoke emergency powers if Congress does not Appropriate Funding for his Border Wall. The State of the Union should be scheduled After the Appropriations Act is signed.
Why is this important?
This President has shown total disregard for the lives of people affected by a Government Shutdown. He appears unaware of the safety threat the Trump Shutdown caused all Americans. He is simply using this tactic to appeal to his base and to distract from the Mueller Investigation. 58%* of Americans disapprove of spending Federal Tax Dollars taking private land and building a wall along the border. *https://pewrsr.ch/2Cnwhdz
