Tell Congress: Don't fund Trump's border wall

Donald Trump is now threatening a government shutdown unless Congress gives him $5 billion for his border wall. This is a ridiculous idea that even many Republicans are against. Mexico isn't paying for the wall, and we shouldn't have to either. Tell Congress to stand up to Trump and oppose funding for his stupid, wasteful border wall!

Why is this important?

The border wall that Donald Trump has demanded for years would be an ecological disaster, an enormous waste of money, and an international symbol of intolerance that doesn't represent America's values.

But Trump has said that he will shut down the government unless Congress gives him $5 billion for the wall.

Congress should not let Trump take our government hostage. Even many Republicans know that the border wall is a bad idea. The money could be better spent on projects related to health care, education, and the economy.
