Do you support the package of four bills that passed the House this weekend?

👍 Yes, in its entirety (24%) – "We need to remain in alliances with other countries seeking and practicing democracy, lest we end up falling to dictatorships like Russia."

  • I agree that something needs to get done, and though I don’t quite understand it, the TikTok ban must be for a good reason. The security council pushed for it."

📝 I support some bills but not others (36%) – "Ukraine desperately needs the funding and we should continue to support them as we had promised. The Israeli conflict is more complicated and Israel should be much more concerned about Palestinian welfare. Tik Tok is a totally different issue and shouldn't be part of a foreign aid package."

  • "I support the aid packages to Ukraine and Taiwan, but don’t support sending more money to Israel until they lay out a plan to limit civilian casualties in Gaza. I also don’t support the TikTok bill as it seems far too narrow of a focus and retaliatory against one company. If the concern is for American data and Chinese espionage, why not a sweeping privacy or data security bill? We should be giving the company a chance to conform to the data security needs, not forcing the sale of a private company."

"The money for Ukraine needs to stop. There is no end in sight for this invasion, and we have spent far too much on it. At some point, we need to stop adding to our national debt. I truly fear what the future will hold for our children."

  • "I don't think we should continue to support Isreal in their war with Gaza. They are clearly winning that war, but at a too-large humanitarian cost for the civilian Palestinians. Israel doesn't need or deserve any further US aid."

👎 No, I don’t support any (27%) – "The TikTok ban is just to distract us. $95B would do so much good for the people struggling to pay medical bills and prescriptions. How many of our homeless could have bright shiny new homes they could afford with that? Let's take care of us. Let's stop demonizing people for falling through the cracks, for getting sick, for reaching retirement only to discover big corp has gutted their retirement and left them with next to nothing. We have so much compassion for the Ukraine, but we "hate" our "filthy" homeless people."

  • "I agree that domestic aid rather than foreign aid makes sense, but I am a teacher and education should have a larger budget."

🤷 Unsure/other (13%) – "I would love to read the 'fine print.' Every bill has a kite tail! We're only told talking points of the bill, never really the nitty gritty!"
