Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Donald Trump bragged that he will be "proud" to shut down the United States government unless Congress gives him $5 billion for his wall.¹ Congress should not let Trump take our government hostage.

Sign the petition telling Congress to reject Trump's border wall.

Trump's obsession with a border wall is a bad idea. 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!

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.²

Even many Republicans know that the border wall is a bad idea.³ The money could be better spent on projects related to health care, education, and the economy.

Trump is threatening to shut down the government if he doesn't get his way, but Congress needs to check his power trip.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!
