This headline made my stomach churn.

It’s bad enough Trump’s words and actions denigrate the sacrifices that so many Americans made on 9/11. But to withhold $4 million in funding from sick 9/11 first responders, in secret? THAT is a disgrace!!! 

First responders rushed into the World Trade Center without thinking twice to save their fellow Americans.

Hundreds of first responders lost their lives, and those who survived have suffered immense physical and emotional pain for their bravery on that fateful day.

America has a duty to provide these brave men and women with the respect, the medical care, and the financial resources to repay their remarkably selfless acts of bravery. It’s the absolute bare minimum we should do.

But just like every other debt Donald Trump has been responsible for in his life, he has refused to pay up.

I am outraged, and I know you are too. This blatant disregard for these brave American patriots can not go unanswered. Will you join me in calling on Donald Trump to fully fund this program NOW?
