FEDERAL DAILY ACTION-Wednesday, June 21, 2017: We are not going away.

 

Americans of every stripe — neighbors and friends, old and new, from all over Jacksonville and nearby communities — came together for a die-in highlighting the very real human cost of Congressman Rutherford’s vote in favor of Trumpcare.

☎️Call Senator Rubio (202-224-3041) or (904-354-4300) and remind him that you aren’t going away.
Your Script:
Hi, my name is (NAME) and I am a constituent from (CITY, ZIP)
I am calling to express my opposition to the way that the healthcare bill is being handled. Even members of the GOP are frustrated with the Senate Republican leaders’ efforts to draft the healthcare overhaul measure largely behind closed doors and without the input of his fellow lawmakers.
This is the United States and we are not living under a dictatorship. I am entirely in the right to ask my democratically-elected leader to be transparent on this issue. This is the very job that Senator Rubio raised money for, ran all those ads for and now he needs to do his job. I am not going away.
Thank you for your hard work answering the phones.

☎️Call Senator Nelson (202-224-5274) or (904-346-4500)
Your Script:
Hi, my name is (NAME) and I am a constituent from (CITY, ZIP)
I am calling today to thank Senator Nelson for speaking up and for asking for transparency on the healthcare bill.
This is the United States and we are not living under a dictatorship. I urge the Senator to speak up for a bipartisan fix to our healthcare system.
Thank you for your hard work answering the phones.

FEDERAL DAILY ACTION – Wednesday, June 14 Your Call: Strongly oppose the Secret ACHA that is being pushed through the Senate

Call now!
MARCO RUBIO DC : 202 224 3041
Jacksonville: (904) 354-4300

Back in November, the word in D.C. was that the Affordable Care Act was a goner. Smart Washington politicos thought Trump might have a repeal bill ready to sign on his first day on the job. The House had voted to repeal it dozens of times. Obama had to veto it once. But Trump is still waiting. Even after the House’s vote, Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land. The legislative fight continues, and it only gets harder for Trump now. Because of you.

It’s hard to overstate how cruel this bill is. Simply put, Republicans got TrumpCare passed in the House today by making it more extreme. They had to convince the uber-conservatives in the Freedom Caucus to vote for it, so they had to make it even crueler. The original failed TrumpCare bill last month stripped healthcare from 23 million Americans. But that wasn’t enough for them. The new bill builds on that by:

Gutting protections for pre-existing conditions
Eliminating services for special needs kids in schools
Letting insurers effectively charge women more than men
In short, TrumpCare is a moral monstrosity.

The House is a majoritarian institution—the party in power sets the rules and decides what gets a vote and when the vote happens. Trump’s lackeys are pulling the puppet strings, so everybody assumed they’d jam through TrumpCare and that’d be that.

Your Script:
My name is ______________ . I am a constituent from________ (zip code).

I strongly urge you to oppose the secret ACHA. This bill would take away health care from millions of Americans, cut the Medicaid program, increase premiums and allow states to get rid of protections for people with pre-existing conditions. All that to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthy. This is unacceptable to me.

[I/my family member] [am/is] at risk of losing [my/his/her] insurance. [I/ my family member] [have/has] a pre-existing condition that before the ACA could be used by insurance companies to discriminate against [me/them]. [My/their] health depends on Senator Rubio voting against the American Health Care Act.

The Senate is about to ram through Trumpcare. This is not a drill; it’s an emergency
Republicans are secretly pushing a bill that no one has read.
