*Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent from [Your City, State, Zip].
I am calling to express my serious concern about the administration's failure to pay its bills to contractors, organizations, and individuals who have already completed work prior to January 20, 2025. These unpaid bills total millions of dollars and are seriously impacting American workers, businesses, and organizations that have fulfilled their obligations to our government in good faith.
Just as every American is expected to pay their bills on time and faces consequences if they don't, our government should be held to the same standard. While we all prepare for tax season and ensure we meet our obligations to the government, numerous contractors and organizations are waiting months for payment for services already rendered.
I urge [Senator/Representative] [Last Name] to investigate why these payments are being delayed and to take immediate action to ensure the government fulfills its financial obligations. This is not just about money – it's about maintaining trust in our institutions and protecting American jobs and businesses.
I would appreciate knowing what specific steps [Senator/Representative] [Last Name] plans to take to address this issue and ensure accountability in government payment processes.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Have a great day.
