OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS
November 21, 2024
The Conservative Movement calls on congressional Republicans to categorically oppose an omnibus appropriations bill or equivalent—and to instead pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to March 2025, so that the incoming Trump-Vance Administration and Republican Congress can get to work on dismantling Democrat spending and on advancing conservative policy wins.
The December 20th expiration date of the current CR sets up a Christmas chokepoint that, under typical circumstances, would be used to force an earmarks-laden omnibus appropriations bill (or equivalent) that increases spending and carries on it other big-spending items, including perhaps a debt-ceiling increase. But these are not typical times. Congressional Republicans must stand strong and prevent the outgoing Biden-Harris Administration and Democrat Senate from having any further input into critical spending decisions.
Now and into next year, Republicans should fight for conservative wins for the American people—whether spending cuts, elimination of big-government socialist programs, or language that implements policies that are wildly popular across the ideological spectrum (like voter ID, prohibiting non-citizens from registering to vote, parental control of education, and no males in female sports, to name just a few).
We and the larger Conservative Movement stand ready to help circumvent the usual December disaster for the federal budget and for the future of America.
