Right now, the government is shut down. Why? Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House. It is their responsibility to fund the government.
But, for the first time, despite needing bipartisan support, Republicans have refused to negotiate, choosing instead to push through a bill that would devastate millions of Americans.
Here’s what’s at stake:
Health care premiums would more than double for 15M people.
20M Americans would lose their health insurance entirely.
Tens of thousands of people would die unnecessarily each year, all while Trump and Republicans hand $1 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires.
This is not just about health care—it’s about whether we allow an authoritarian movement to dismantle our democracy. We can’t sit back and let it happen.
That’s why your call matters. Take two minutes today to call your Republican senator and demand they stop this cruelty and reopen the government.
Use this script (it takes 2 minutes):
"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I'm calling to urge you to stop refusing to negotiate with Democrats and to reopen the government.
The current proposal that YOU support would double premiums for 20 million Americans, take away healthcare from 15 million, and do nothing to stop Trump's authoritarian takeover of the US government.
As your constituent, I'm urging you to vote for a bill to protect our healthcare, stop authoritarianism and fund the government.
Thank you."
The time for the American people to speak up is NOW.
Thank you for taking action.
In solidarity,
Team Bernie
