Dear Congressional Leaders: We, the undersigned representing millions of Americans, strongly support the inclusion of new provisions, which promote values issues in the upcoming Appropriations bills for FY2017. While it is essential to protect provisions in current law that positively affect policy on matters of life, family, religious liberty, and other values issues, merely keeping the status quo is not sufficient in a culture, and under an Administration, that regularly attacks the values of the people we represent. The undersigned organizations may not take a position on all the specific provisions, but we agree that fighting for the policy riders is an important trust building measure between the American people and Washington. Thus, it is important for the House to act to ensure additional values “riders” are included in the Appropriations bills, whether in Committee or on the floor.
