Boycott Contributions to Senate Democrats Until Chuck Schumer Steps Down
Boycott Contributions to Senate Democrats Until Chuck Schumer Steps Down
The Issue
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017.
Between Election Day in 2024 and Inauguration Day in January, Mr. Schumer completely failed to prepare for the widely anticipated threats posed to the stability of our country by Trump and Elon Musk.
In the early months of the 119th Congress, Mr. Schumer has been effectively impotent as Minority Leader, offering no comprehensive plan or strategy to combat the efforts by Trump and Elon Musk to demolish the federal government and harm the American people.
Drastic and unnecessary cuts to essential programs and agencies that help the most vulnerable in our country should not be tolerated by any lawmaker, let alone Democratic leadership.
Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to "screw up" and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership.
With his vote to approve Trump's federal budget continuing resolution, Mr. Schumer has decidedly abdicated his critical responsibilities to the American people in a moment of compounding crises for our nation and the world.
We, the undersigned, completely reject Mr. Schumer's approach of appeasement in response to the deeply irresponsible, dangerous, and cruel attacks by Trump and Elon Musk on the American people.
Until Senate Democrats force Mr. Schumer to step down as Minority Leader, we will not give a dime to any Senate Democrat, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, or any other organization or committee that financially supports any Senate Democrat.
Enough is enough. We need new leadership to meet this grave moment, and we need it now.

Why are we just having Musk and Trump the keys to the kingdom? We are so close to our democracy slipping away. We count on our democratic leaders to represent us and fight to preserve our democracy. This deal is not a deal at all? It is death by 1000 cuts. It is surrender. I am a disabled man who relies on Social Security disability benefits to survive. Billionaires want to take this away from me. I expect my democratic leaders to keep their word and fight like hell to stop the dismantling of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA and all the other programs vulnerable Americans rely on. Giving Trump even more power than he already has will just hasten the demise of these services and benefits (the word “entitlements” is inappropriate. These are benefits we have paid for.)
I am 60 and disabled. I got approved to start in April. I have broken vertebrae in my back. The only thing saving me is Medicaid and SNAP. I worked 45 years and contributed to SS for my retirement. I should not be scared that my hard earned money is going to be stolen. We need a Democratic Senator who listens to their constituents and it’s obviously not you Mr. Schumer.
I am only able to survive because of Social Security Disability Income and SNAP food stamps. Any capitulation to the GOP budget affects me personally. Without Social Security I cannot feed myself or pay my bills or rent. In short, I will die. My life depends on a strong Democratic resistance, and Chuck Schumer failed me, and millions of Americans like me, utterly and completely. I literally cannot afford capitulation.
