Friend -- I wanted to make sure you saw this email from
yesterday. This vote is happening TODAY, and we need to call every member
of the House of Representatives -- especially Republicans -- and ask them
to vote against this MAGA budget bill.

[ [link removed] ]Will you call right now?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friend,

The House of Representatives is set to vote TOMORROW on a budget
resolution that would harm millions of American families.(1)

The bill would renew Donald Trump’s trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy
-- and pay for it by drastically slashing funding for programs including
Medicaid, SNAP, and Pell Grants.(2)

The House is planning to take the disastrous Elon Musk funding cuts and
make them permanent. Courage California members named stopping these
funding cuts as their number one priority, and now we have to come
together to prevent this budget bill from passing.

[ [link removed] ]We have 24 hours to flood the House of Representatives with phone calls
demanding that our representatives reject this bill. Will you call right
now?

[ [link removed] ]CALL NOW

Trump has thrown his support behind the House bill, which he touted for
implementing his “full America First agenda.”(3)

The bill gives the military and border security more funding. But the bill
also directs the House to cut $2 trillion from current programs. There is
just no way to get that done without attacking Medicaid and even Social
Security and Medicare.(4)

In order to hand the 1% more tax breaks, MAGA Republicans are willing to
hurt schoolchildren, people living in poverty, people in need of health
care, and thousands of government workers including park rangers and
postal workers. It’s unconscionable.

There is good news, however: There is no way that House Speaker Mike
Johnson can pass this bill without the entire Republican caucus voting for
it -- or Democrats defecting.(5) And several Republicans are already
expressing doubts.

We need to let our members of Congress know that our eyes are on them
right now, and they’d better not dare vote for this disastrous bill. But
the vote is supposed to happen tomorrow, so we must call today.

Thank you for being in the fight!
