We shouldn’t send Ukraine another blank check

Sign The Letter

This aid bill would nearly double what’s already been sent

As your constituent,
I urge you to oppose the newly proposed package to send additional aid to Ukraine.
This proposal would add tens of billions to our already over $50 billion in support to date, while our wealthy European
allies have failed to consistently send even a meager fraction the same aid…and
this conflict is right in their backyard.

Americans are right
to sympathize with Ukraine as it resists Russia’s immoral war of aggression,
but the U.S.’s response must first protect its own vital interests. Here at
home, we are facing soaring inflation, outrageous debt, record gas prices, and
more and more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Is it in our interests
to continue writing blank checks to Ukraine?

Furthermore, our continued aid has put us in a dangerous proxy war with Russia
by sending billions of dollars of lethal weapons into the fight. Continuing to fuel
this war with military aid risks escalating into direct conflict with Russia - a
conflict the American people overwhelmingly oppose putting American lives on
the line for.

Instead of
rubber-stamping an aid package and prolonging the death and destruction from
the war, lawmakers should demand clearer answers from the Biden administration
on its goals in Ukraine, how they relate to our national interests, and how
this aid package supports them.

Please vote “no” on this, or any aid package without getting the answers
to these questions. We deserve to know how you are spending our tax dollars and
protecting our national interests.
As your constituent,

Respectfully

Russia’s war on Ukraine is immoral and unjustified. Prolonging or expanding the war will only bring more devastation and suffering for the Ukrainian people, leaving them worse off and Americans no safer or more prosperous.

Recently, the Biden Administration expanded U.S. policy aims to include helping the Ukrainian military achieve ‘victory.’ However, the conditions and requirements to accomplish this result were left undefined.

Now, President Biden is asking for billions more in lethal aid for Ukraine...on top of on top of the roughly $54 billion in aid Congress has already authorized this year alone. It also comes as the Defense Department warns of ammunition stockpiles becoming “uncomfortably low” as a result of weapon transfers to Ukraine.

America is struggling with record-setting inflation, outrageous debt, and energy depletion, among several other issues. Before any additional aid is approved, the Biden Administration and Congress need to define how additional funding will benefit U.S. interests and what their strategy is to bring about an end to the war in Ukraine.

Exercising oversight is an essential duty of our representatives in Washington, particularly when it comes to high-stakes questions of U.S. foreign policy. It is a mistake for Congress to fast-track yet another massive aid package to Ukraine when the Biden Administration has repeatedly sent confused and mixed signals about its desired end-state in Ukraine.

It’s time to stop acting without thinking through the risks and consequences.
