S/V Sundance: Trump is refusing to sign our housing bill that passed. I’m fighting back.

Trump is refusing to sign our housing bill that passed. I’m fighting back.

Faith,

I don’t say this often these days, but Congress actually passed something good. We just overwhelmingly passed the most substantial housing bill in more than 30 years.

My 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would lower housing costs, build more homes, help working families afford rent and homeownership, and prevent private equity firms from scooping up homes that families could own.

Republicans were even boasting about it this morning — saying what a great bill it was.

It was ready to become law this morning. And then, suddenly, Donald Trump threw a tantrum and refused to sign it.

Why?

Because he's demanding Congress pass the SAVE Act first — the restrictive voter ID law that would make it harder for millions of citizens to vote. Or as Donald Trump said, "guarantee the midterms" for the Republicans.

Trumps post cancelling signing the bill.

Trump is blocking relief for millions of families struggling to afford rent and buy a first home because he wants leverage to force through his extremist voter suppression bill. But make no mistake: I will not stop fighting to get this signed. Will you chip in $28 right now to fuel our fight?

I need to make this abundantly clear: We are in a housing emergency.

People across this country are saying that housing is at the top of their list of costs that they are struggling with.

Passing this bipartisan bill showed that even when Democrats are in the minority, we can get stuff done and deliver lower costs for American families. We got everyone on board to bring down costs, crack down on corporate landlords and private equity firms buying up neighborhoods, and put homeownership back within reach for working families.

Even Donald Trump said himself that he supported this housing bill.

The White House even called it "one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history."

Then the President just turned around and acted like a petulant child the minute it’s time to sign the bill.

We can laugh and joke about his dramatics, but this is serious.

This is really serious for the young family that can't buy a home.

This is really serious for the renter who sees his rent going up again and just doesn't know how he's going to cover both health insurance and rent.

This was a serious effort to lower costs, and Donald Trump won’t sign it for political games.

No games. No theater. No tantrums. I’m calling on Trump to sign this bill immediately — and I won’t let up in this fight. If you're able, will you pitch in $28 or any amount to power our campaign?

Thanks for being a part of this,
