Please call your Senators tomorrow and tell them to oppose the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. 

This bill is an attempt to steal from the poor and give to the rich, and to sneakily repeal the ACA. It would repeal the individual mandate, raising premiums so much that thirteen million people would lose health insurance. (link)   

It would also increase the deficit by over a trillion dollars over the next decade. 

Here is a slightly changed script from Indivisble:

“Hello! My name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [PART OF STATE]. I’m calling to let Senator [SENATOR’S NAME] know that I strongly oppose the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. 

This tax bill is a scam that will give massive cuts to the wealthy, paid for by leaving tens of thousands of people in [STATE] uninsured, raising premiums, and raising taxes on middle-class families. This tax bill won’t help middle class families get ahead. Every single provision intended to help the middle-class expires, but the corporate tax cuts are forever. 

Even worse, the CBO estimates that health insurance premiums will increase 10% more per year than they would without this bill and we know 13 million more people will be uninsured!”

Encourage your friends and family to call. If you can’t call, ask someone to call your Senators and let them know they are calling on your behalf. You can also give me your full name and zip code or street address and tell me it is for the tax bill, and I will call for you.
