The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader United States Senate 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510

Dear Leader McConnell,

The undersigned conservatives urge you to modify the Continuing Resolution recently passed by the House of Representatives to extend government funding for a full year.

As we outlined in the attached letter, signed by over 100 conservative leaders, a CR into December gives leverage to Democrat demands on key issues, including significant pro-life policies, border spending, and other key areas. This is reflected in the partisan vote in which the CR passed the House, with 219 Democrats voting in favor, joined by only 12 Republicans.

From both a strategic and fiscal perspective, we believe a CR into December would be an error.

For both these reasons and those outlined in the attached letter, we urge the Senate to modify the timeline of the current CR to allow for full deliberation and debate of critical spending issues in 2020.

Sincerely,

Alfred S. Regnery Tom McClusky Chairman, Conservative Action Project President Chairman, Law Enforcement Legal Defense March for Life Action Fund

The Honorable Colin A. Hanna Myron Ebell President Director, Center for Energy and Environment Let Freedom Ring, Inc. Competitive Enterprise Institute
