Hi John,
No Labels has launched a full court press to persuade Speaker Mike Johnson to hold a vote on the bipartisan Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act.
This bipartisan legislation, introduced by Problem Solvers Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick and Jared Golden, would take essential steps to secure our border while delivering needed aid to our allies in Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific.
Today, President Biden and the “Big Four” of Congress – House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell – met for a frank discussion on these pressing priorities, as well as the looming government shutdown.
It was a good, productive first step, and we continue to believe that the Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act is the best starting point for getting a solution through Congress.
Yesterday, we asked for your help in raising funds to air our new advertisement highlighting the need for a vote on this critical legislation. You can view the ad, which makes a powerful case for this bipartisan bill, here.
