To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Tell Congress: Oppose Sen. Cruz's reckless bill to ban refugees from entering the U.S.
In America, we compassionately value freedom and keep our doors open to those escaping unimaginable violence and hardship in search of a better life. Senator Cruz's plan to ban refugees is reckless and against everything this country stands for. Please oppose it without delay.
Why is this important?
Watching what happened in Paris was a heartbreaking reminder of how important it is that we stand together as a country united against terrorism, and remember what makes America great.
But far too many Republicans like Senator Ted Cruz have rushed to use those attacks as an excuse to block Syrian refugees from entering our country. He just introduced a bill that would block refugees from any country "that contains territory substantially controlled by a foreign terrorist organization."
These individuals are escaping the very same terrorism that the world witnessed this week in Paris and Beirut. Thousands of Syrians have been killed, millions have been displaced, and countless livelihoods have been destroyed by the likes of ISIS (or "Daesh") and the Assad regime.
Simply turning our backs on refugees fleeing political and religious persecution is not the American way. Sign the petition if you agree, and tell Congress to oppose Senator Cruz's misguided, reckless plan.
