The stimulus bill passed by the Senate last night is a giant check to the Trump re-election campaign. With multiple additional stimulus bills coming in the near future, Democrats in Congress must lead. 

Americans should be first -- not massive corporations or Trump's corporate donors.

SIGN THE PETITION: Speaker Pelosi, nothing good happens when Mitch McConnell drives the process. Please seize control and have the House pass good bills now!

Thanks for being a bold progressive.

LAST NIGHT'S EMAIL:

The text of the Senate bill just got released -- and it's a giant check to the Trump re-election campaign.

It puts trillions in the pockets of his corporate donors, allows Trump to repeat his 2016 fake populist rhetoric that will deceive Americans, and blurs the line between Democrats and Republicans in a way that will hurt people and depress turnout in 2020.

This is what happens when Mitch McConnell drives the process. Sign our petition to Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging the Democratic House to "seize control" of this process and send lots of good bills to the Senate -- now. SIGN HERE.

Over and over, the American people are told that there is 'no money' — for student debt relief, for Medicare For All, for a Green New Deal to create millions of jobs and save our planet. And now, at the moment when the American people are most in need, our coffers are being looted by the wealthy and well-connected.

Huff Post reports, "The new law would establish a $4.5 trillion corporate bailout fund overseen by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, with few substantive constraints."

Senators should oppose this bill or insist the corporate slush fund be removed. Every hundred billion dollars of corporate bailouts now allow Republicans to cry poverty every time Democrats propose real solutions to help people in the future.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called this bill "terrible" for coronavirus victims in his state and called on "the House to make adjustments." Voters elected a Democratic House in 2018 to stand up for the American people.

Starting right away, the House should start sending multiple good bills to the Senate and dare them to oppose popular proposals that save lives and put workers ahead of corporate bad actors. Sign here if you agree.

The House should go further than the Senate and pass more money for people's basic needs like water and housing, cancel student debt and expand Social Security benefits during this crisis, and fully fund voting by mail in every state.

Any money to corporations should come with airtight conditions like no firing workers during this crisis, no stock buybacks ever, workers on corporate boards, a $15 minimum wage, and Americans getting voting stakes in companies that get public money.

Nothing good happens when Mitch McConnell drives the process. Sign here to urge Speaker Pelosi to seize control -- and pass good bills through the House now!

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
