  6. Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. congress.gov/contact-us

    Dear Senator / Representative:

    Please speak out about the politicization of disaster relief.

    On September 1, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was approving disaster dollars for states that included campaign endorsements for each state. Here’s an example:

    “I just informed Andy Barr, who is running to be the next Senator from the incredible Commonwealth of Kentucky, that I am approving 9.1 Million Dollars for severe storms, winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, that they are recovering from. The Great People of Kentucky are resilient, smart, and tough, and I am with them all the way. Vote for Andy Barr — He has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and he will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

    An AP analysis from July showed that Trump has “rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”

    Congress must make it clear that disaster relief decisions must not be politicized.

    I ask that you:

    - Clearly denounce this behavior.
    - Introduce a congressional resolution that emphasizes the non-political nature of disaster relief.
    - Decry the blatant linkage of disaster relief and campaign endorsements. If this is not illegal, please make it so.

    Thank you.

  16. Spotting yet another fundraising for an American town suffering because disaster relief is not able to reimburse those hit by a natural disaster, it's interesting to note that the US as a country spends over a trillion on defense and not half of that on disaster relief.

  26. The fighting words come as #FEMA’s #DisasterRelief #fund is rapidly running out of #money in the wake of #Idalia, unprecedented #flooding in #Vermont & devastating #wildfires in #Maui.

    #Scientists say #ClimateChange is increasing the frequency & intensity of such #WeatherDisasters, further straining FEMA’s #budget & personnel.
