John,

Corporate America (and their Republican allies in Congress) are using inflation as an excuse to keep getting richer―price gouging the American people―while fearmongering that President Biden’s Build Back Better Act is the cause of recent price spikes. Just look at this recent headline:

We’re fighting back, letting the American people know that the Build Back Better Act will help them afford costly expenses―healthcare, prescription drugs, childcare, housing, education―by finally making big corporations (and the rich) begin paying their fair share of taxes.[1]

Right now, corporate lobbyists including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Big Pharma, and Big Oil are putting massive pressure on corporate Democrats in an attempt to weaken or kill the tax increases they will face from the Build Back Better Act. We’re fighting back with grassroots pressure. Can you help us run our new digital ad in West Virginia, Arizona and other key states to put pressure on corporate Democrats to immediately pass the bill? Pitch in today!

Because the Build Back Better Act investments will be spent slowly over 10 years―and because they’re fully paid for by making the rich and corporations pay a fairer share of taxes―this critical legislation will not spur inflation.

Also, economic forecaster Mark Zandi says the bill will “take the edge off of inflation,”[2] while 15 Nobel Prize winning economists say it “will ease long-term inflationary pressures.”[3]

Fight back against corporate greed, which is price gouging the American people while attempting to kill the Build Back Better Act. Help bring our latest digital ad to West Virginia, Arizona and other key states to let Joe Manchin’s, Kyrsten Sinema’s, and the constituents of all corporate Democrats know how this historic bill will put money in working people’s pockets―paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share.

Together, let’s pass President Biden’s agenda while fighting back against corporate greed.

Thank you,
