call to action for june 5, 2025

Background

Drama around the Republicans’ horrible reconciliation bill is heating up, now that Elon Musk has entered the fray in a big way. That’s all the more reason for us to keep the pressure on the Senate, which will soon be taking up the big, ugly bill passed recently by House Republicans. At the same time, we can’t lose sight of the Trump regime’s many other predations against American democracy and common decency—including the new travel ban that was announced this week.

Hi, I'm a constituent from [your zip code]. My name is [your full name].

First, I want to register my strenuous opposition to the Republicans' abominable budget bill. I genuinely fear for our economy if we take on 2.4 trillion dollars—or more—in additional debt. If the bill passed by House Republicans goes into law, 51,000 people a YEAR will die from the cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP. Also, killing clean energy tax credits at a moment when the whole world is transitioning to cleaner, cheaper energy is stupid and self-destructive beyond belief.

Second, I am sickened by the Trump administration’s new travel ban, and by the ICE abductions that I’m seeing on social media. The Republicans’ approach to immigration is disgusting, xenophobic, and cruel. It’s also stupid economically. We are destroying our country’s good name, ruining lives, killing tourism, and shrinking our GDP. For what? There’s no payoff. Congress needs to push back. Thanks.
