John, this week we face a looming government shutdown and a budget battle against GOP leadership and Donald Trump. Today, House GOP leadership are calling for a vote on their disastrous stopgap measure. It’s a SHAMEFUL lie — but the American people aren’t stupid.
No matter what Republicans say, reports confirm their proposed budget cut numbers mean they MUST touch these critical programs. If this budget passes, 1 in 5 Americans who use Medicaid are at risk of losing coverage, including forcing out those who have lost the ability to work due to crippling disease with a new work requirement. This budget has nothing to do with cutting waste — it literally puts the lives of Americans at risk so the GOP can greenlight tax cuts to the wealthy. Are you concerned about programs like Medicaid on the chopping block with the GOP’s budget on the table this week? My team is listening. Instantly add your name to let me know if you are concerned about GOP budget cuts >> Democrats are fighting back against these unconscionable cuts in all the ways we can, but the reality is right now we don’t have the numbers to stop the GOP House majority from having their way. So we need to use our voices to let them know the American people will not tolerate lifesaving programs being cut in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy. Let us know how you feel here.
