Dear [Title, Last Name]:

 

My name is [First Name, Last Name]. I am from [City, State], and [Insert USAID role/background/connection]. 

 

I am writing to urge you to stand with your constituents like me who oppose rescissions to U.S. foreign aid being introduced by the White House. Congress appropriates funds for foreign aid because Members understand its importance for protecting our national security and advancing our national interests. The administration needs to ensure that those funds are spent on the programs Congress intended. 

 

I am especially concerned because of the potential impact on many of the lifesaving programs from USAID that are still active. A rescission at this time could effectively terminate those programs and put more lives in danger. I ask that you oppose any foreign aid rescissions when a package comes up for a vote. 

 

Please support foreign assistance because it makes America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

 

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City, State, Zip Code]
