Hello, Freedom Writers!

No Joke … What if C-SPAN got more viewers than any other station?

The GOP wants to vote in the House on the Big Bill of Betrayal while shrouded in the cover of darkness. They don’t want anyone to know that they are …

• Throwing 17 M people off their healthcare

• Destroying rural hospitals

• Increasing the national deficit by $3.3 trillion over a decade

• Blocking Planned Parenthood funding

• Reducing revenues by $4.5 T while only cutting spending by $1.2 T

• Defunding student loans and scholarships

• Wiping out gender affirming care

• Gutting SNAP

• Erasing environmental protections

• Increasing $$$ for ICE and the Pentagon

• Cutting federal worker benefits

He’s counting on us being tired, unaware … preoccupied.

But, what if ALL OF US started watching C-SPAN tonight …

… and kept watching it all day long tomorrow …?

How would Trump feel about that?

I hear he’s a guy who cares about ‘ratings.’

We have been pounding our Senators with phone calls, and now that the Big Bill of Betrayal is back in the House, we need to switch gears and start pounding our House Representatives with phone calls (see Action below),

… but we also need to show them: WE ARE WATCHING THEM VOTE on C-SPAN.

And what if we all SHARED this idea as far and wide as we could?

You all know what to do.

Thank you for helping us save our democracy,

Action: Call Your US Rep NOW!

After spending the entire weekend trying to wrangle votes, the Senate passed their version of Trump’s budget–but only with the help of J.D. Vance’s tie-breaking vote. Now the bill is in the House, where the GOP is trying to sneak it through during the night. WATCH THEM on C-SPAN.
