Dear Senator [Last Name],
My name is [Full Name] and I am one of your constituents. As your
constituent, I urge you to vote NO on the $9.4 billion rescissions
package that would slash funding for highly effective global health
programs like PEPFAR, maternal and child health, malaria and
tuberculosis prevention, UNICEF, and clean water and nutrition programs.
These programs are not just compassionate — they are strategic
investments that save lives, build international goodwill, and cost
pennies on the dollar compared to the long-term costs of inaction.
PEPFAR alone has saved over 25 million lives from HIV/AIDS and is a
shining example of U.S. leadership at its best.
Cutting these programs
may seem fiscally responsible on paper, but in reality, it risks
undermining American influence, destabilizing fragile regions, and
creating health crises that can cross borders. When the U.S. pulls back,
countries like China are eager to step in, expanding their global
foothold while ours recedes.
Furthermore, many of these programs align
with pro-life and pro-family values — protecting newborns, supporting
mothers, and preventing needless deaths through clean water and basic
medical care. They reflect the best of American ideals. Thanks to the
PEPFAR program, 5.5 million babies have been born HIV-free.
Senator
[Last Name], I urge you to vote no on this rescissions package and to
continue supporting policies that are both morally principled and
strategically wise.
Respectfully,
[Your name]
