    Town meetings in Vermont exemplify the way we do business: We listen to one another, we respect different opinions, and we get the job done with common sense solutions. Congress could learn a thing or two by tuning into the town meetings happening all over our state.

    Count me in ! This unconstitutional move must be blocked by Congress or the Courts.

    I ask all members of Congress — Democrat and Republican — to support this joint resolution to terminate President Trump’s unconstitutional national emergency declaration to build his border wall. It sets a dangerous precedent and steals congressional authority. Will you sign on?
