DAILY FEDERAL ACTION – November 2, 2017 YOUR CALL OR RESISTBOT: DEMAND CONGRESS OPPOSE A MUELLER FIRING

#ProtectMueller #TrumpRussia

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has moved into a new phase with indictments against key campaign officials and a guilty plea by a campaign foreign policy adviser.

Trump is reportedly fuming and being urged by former aide, Steve Bannon to take dramatic action against Mueller’s investigation.

Bipartisan bills have been introduced in the House and Senate to protect the Mueller investigation. However, we urgently need pressure on Congress to pass these bills and ensure Mueller’s investigation is allowed to be completed.

If Trump fires Mueller before the bills are enacted, there must be an overwhelming response from the people to ensure Congress protects the investigation.

Today’s Action
Call your three members of Congress and urge them to support the bipartisan legislation protecting the Mueller investigation.

FEDERAL DAILY ACTION – Friday, October 13 YOUR CALL OR RESISTBOT: STOP TRUMP FROM DESTROYING THE ACA

While Republicans have failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Trump has indicated his willingness to sabotage the law through other means. ACA analyses have repeatedly shown that the individual markets are largely functioning well, with cost-sharing subsidies shielding buyers from premium cost increases. However, Trump and the Department of Health and Human Services, led by Tom Price, are taking steps to destabilize these markets.
Trump is currently threatening to withhold insurance payments known as cost-sharing reductions (CSRs), which allow insurers to offer lower-cost individual market plans with lower out-of-pocket costs to low-income consumers. The Congressional Budget Office has released an analysis concluding termination of CSR payments would increase premiums for the most popular individual market plans by 20% next year and 25% by 2020 and leave about 5% of the population without access to any individual plans at all. By contrast, if the CSRs are left in place, less than 0.5% of the population would live in a region without access to individual market plans.
Despite the CBO’s findings and insurance experts insistence that ACA markets are stable, the Trump administration has refused to commit to paying CSRs. Instead, he and his Republican allies in Congress appear willing to sabotage the ACA for political gain, creating turmoil in the individual insurance market and causing real harm to individuals.

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

[IF CALLING REP or SEN]: I’m calling to express my serious concern about Trump’s intention to let Obamacare fail and put the lives of millions of Americans at risk. I urge REP/SEN to immediately pass legislation to stabilize the insurance market and ensure the ACA’s cost-sharing subsidies are fully funded. The American people want to see the insurance market fixed, not sabotaged for political gain.

Thank you for your hard work answering the phones.

FEDERAL DAILY ACTION – Thursday, October 12 Your Call or RESISTBOT – #ProtectMueller #TrumpRussia

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is moving forward with signs that the probe is gaining momentum on money laundering, obstruction of justice and collusion. It is widely believed to be a matter of time before Trump attempts to fire Mueller as the investigation closes around him and his inner circle.

Trump and his allies have tried in many ways to obstruct or discredit the investigation. Some of Trump’s advisers are now urging him to step up the attack on Mueller.

Trump’s Republican allies in the Senate have previously attacked former FBI director James Comey. Trump’s attack on the FBI’s use of the Steele dossier in its investigation has been supported by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA). In the House, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes (R-CA), is also plotting to attack the Steele dossier despite his recusal and, according to Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Nunes “is trying to undermine the investigation.”

Trump ally Sean Hannity has launched repeated attacks on Mueller and called for Mueller’s investigation to be ended and replaced by a criminal investigation of Mueller.

As Mueller’s investigation appears to be getting close on money laundering, obstruction and collusion, it is urgent that Congress pass bipartisan legislation which has been introduced in the House and Senate to protect Mueller’s investigation. Trump is trying to stop the legislation, including a call to Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), a sponsor of the legislation, to try to get him to kill it.

We urgently need the legislation to be accelerated to protect the investigation and prevent a Constitutional crisis.
