House Democrats will vote on a resolution to block Pres. Trump’s national emergency declaration as early as next week.

NumbersUSA’s Government Relations Director Rosemary Jenks informed Members of Congress that her organization will score against affirmative votes for the budget deal (Conference Report to Accompany H.J. Res. 31).

NumbersUSA is advocating passage of another continuing resolution to give Congress time to fix numerous problems in the pending measure.
