Hello, Freedom Writers!

All Night Long … Our Senate is Working Over Time on H.R. 1

This weekend, the Senate is working overtime to send Trump’s Big Ugly Bill of Betrayal back to the House of Representatives so they can – in turn – work overtime to get it to Trump’s desk by July 4th … before more people find out how bad it is!

We have been pounding our Senators with phone calls, and the pressure has been working. The more we tell them we know what’s in this bill, the more they fear the consequences of voting for it.

This bill sounds like a bunch of BILLIONAIRE monsters screaming “Feed Me Seymore!” They want more money, more money, more money … and they don’t care how many people have to die for them to get it.

They want to cut:

• Rural Hospitals

• Medicare

• Medicaid

• SNAP

• Environmental protections

• Student loans

• Federal employee benefits

• Planned Parenthood

• Gender affirming healthcare

… while EXPANDING ICE, the Pentagon and the US deficit (by trillions for generations to come).

Basically, this bill will steal from the POOR to give to the RICH.

Not a good look for Republicans … BUT ONLY IF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT, RIGHT?

So CALL your Senators every day with the script below. And, then when it moves to the House again, call your Representative every day. Must. Stop. This. Bill.

And SHARE this action as far and wide as you can!

Thank you for helping us save our democracy,

• EBFreed and BillyJ

SCRIPT: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I’m calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose H.R. 1, the Budget Reconciliation Bill, because

1) It will destroy rural hospitals,

2) Make EVERYONE’S healthcare more expensive and

3) Explode the deficit.

Personally, I’m especially concerned about … [which impact are you concerned about the most?]

Congress should pass a fair and responsible budget that helps working families and communities, not one that steals from the poor and gives to the rich. These are OUR tax dollars we’re talking about! We deserve better from our Congress.

I want you to take a strong public stand against this bill. Now is not the time to be silent.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

[Your Name]
