Letter in Opposition to Policy Riders in H.R. 1, Continuing Resolution

The Honorable Harry Reid



Senate Majority Leader



United Sates Capitol S-321



Washington, DC 20510



The Honorable Mitch McConnell



Senate Minority Leader



United States Capitol S-230



Washington, DC 20510




 



Dear Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell:



The undersigned organizations, on behalf of our millions of members and supporters, write today to express our strong opposition to inclusion of any policy riders in legislation that will fund government operations for Fiscal Year 2011.



There have not been any hearings related to these extraordinarily far-reaching proposals.  This back-door means of legislating does not allow for adequate debate about the merits of such sweeping policy changes, which deserve full deliberation by both chambers in the course of the normal legislative process.



The House of Representatives’ Continuing Resolution (H.R. 1), which was voted on one month ago, included vast cuts and erected obstructions to critical public health, worker safety, consumer, civil rights, and environmental programs.  We urge you to adopt a strict policy of rejecting all such provisions in subsequent 2011 spending bills, rather than negotiating one harmful rider against another.



We also have deep concerns about the level of the funding cuts, which we view as irresponsible and harmful.  However, these damaging policy riders have no place in this budget legislation.



Sincerely,
