Dear Mark,
As a resident of Kentucky, I write with a heavy heart and a deep sense of responsibility. News that federal funding is being withdrawn from domestic violence and sexual assault programs, healthcare services, school meal programs, housing assistance, and support for veterans and children is not only distressing—it is morally unacceptable.
These are not luxuries; they are the basic assurances of a compassionate society. To eliminate them under the guise of fiscal prudence is to turn our backs on those who rely on these services for survival, healing, and dignity.
We must not forget that government exists to serve the people—all the people. Survivors deserve safety. Children deserve nourishment. Veterans deserve care. And working families deserve more than just the barest chance to stay afloat.
I call on our elected representatives—particularly Congressman Hal Rogers—to oppose these cruel and shortsighted cuts. This is not a matter of party, but of principle. It is never the right time to abandon those most in need.
We are watching. And we still believe that leadership can mean something nobler than silence.
Sincerely,
Sandy Woodward
