The Senate is rushing a bill packed with special interest giveaways, billionaire tax breaks, and cuts to crucial lifelines like Medicaid and food stamps. Can you call Senator David McCormick today and tell them you oppose this bill?
John, the Senate will vote as soon as this weekend on a bill that’d achieve Donald Trump & Elon Musk’s dream of making our country less safe, more corrupt, and stacked against anyone who isn’t already rich.
Here’s what’s in it:
The centerpiece of the bill is a huge tax cut for the rich -- so MAGA Republicans can pay back the wealthy donors who spent big to put them in office. [1]
How are they paying for it? By cutting off support for families in need – kicking millions off their healthcare and taking resources from students, patients, and workers to make the rich richer. [2]
And it still contains a stealth giveaway to Big Tech, trying to strongarm states into letting scammers and hackers abuse AI to mislead, harass, and exploit people. [3]
We won’t sit idly by while these politicians cut our healthcare to make billionaires even richer. Can you call your Senator David McCormick today to let them know you oppose this bill?
Here’s an idea of what to say: Hi, this is [NAME] from [TOWN]. I’m urging you to vote NO on reconciliation because it rips off the American people to make the rich even richer – and gives AI companies a blank check to profit at our expense.
All year long, the Trump Administration has gone after our rights, our neighbors, and our way of life – and far too many members of Congress have been complicit in his attacks.
Instead of speaking up boldly for people like you and me – the ones who sent them to Washington in the first place – they’re falling in line with whatever Trump demands, no matter how destructive or unpopular.
This bill they’re moving now would be among the worst of the worst -- locking in an extremist vision of our country as one where the wealthy and powerful get everything they want, while the rest of us struggle to get by.
Even if your senator is on board with this right-wing agenda, your voice can remind them that they can’t take votes like this without paying a political price.
Thanks for all you do,
