Vote NO on the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act

Feb. 8, 2025 
Dear Congresswoman Bynum,
    I would like to take a moment to address House Resolution (H.R.) 32, the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act, which has recently been introduced in the US House of Representatives. This Act will restrict federal funding to any “Sanctuary Jurisdiction” which would include the entirety of Oregon according to our state law.
  The Act specifically identifies funding for “the provision of food, shelter, healthcare services, legal services, and transportation.” In our community we believe in feeding the hungry, housing the unhoused and caring for the sick and injured - without demanding proof of status.
​  On behalf of the Linn County Democrats, I urge you to vote NO on the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act to ensure our cities and state continue receiving federal funds that support essential services for those in need.
  Thank you for you time and consideration.
  Sincerely,
  Ben Watts
  Chair, Linn County Democrats
