Pass the Senate's Clean Funding Bill
On August 8, 2026, the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan continuing resolution (CR) by a sweeping 90–6 vote to keep the federal government funded through December 11, 2026. The Senate-passed CR includes three key protections: (1) it blocks the diversion of appropriated funds to Border Patrol outside of congressionally approved channels, preventing executive branch circumvention of the appropriations process; (2) it temporarily shields federal grant awards from politically motivated review and control; and (3) it preserves critical housing and food assistance programs for vulnerable Americans.
The House GOP has advanced a competing version of the CR that strips all three of these provisions — opening the door for billions in unauthorized transfers to Border Patrol, subjecting federal grants to political interference, and putting housing and nutrition assistance at risk for millions of low-income households.
Constituents are urging their U.S. Representatives to reject the House GOP version and instead pass the Senate-approved CR as written. This bipartisan Senate measure maintains congressional authority over federal spending, protects the integrity of the grant-making process, and upholds the safety net programs that millions of Americans depend on.

Hello, I am an assistant calling on behalf of a constituent, {{first_name}} {{last_name}} from {{city}}, {{state}} zip code {{zip_code}}. The constituent is calling to urge {{representative_name}} to vote YES on the Senate-passed continuing resolution approved on August 8, 2026, by a 90–6 bipartisan vote, and to reject the House GOP version of the bill. The Senate CR contains three critical provisions that the House Republican version strips out: First, it blocks the diversion of appropriated funds to Border Patrol outside of congressionally authorized channels — protecting Congress's constitutional power of the purse. Second, it temporarily prevents political review and control of federal grants — preserving the integrity of an impartial grant-making process. Third, it protects housing and food assistance programs that millions of low-income Americans rely on. The constituent asks {{representative_name}} to stand with the bipartisan Senate majority, pass the clean Senate CR, and reject any House version that removes these protections. Will {{representative_name}} commit to voting for the Senate-passed continuing resolution?
