Help Democrats Take Back The House!

Dear Friends,

Last week, House Republicans narrowly passed their Big Ugly Bill filled with cruelty, greed, and lies — by just one vote. Now that their plan is out in the open, they can no longer hide from it and must be held accountable.

You, our grassroots VIPs — Volunteers in Politics — are making that happen with your steadfast commitment to Save Our Health Care. Our phone banks have generated over 140,000 calls (and counting), taking the fight directly to swing seat House Republicans in California who are more interested in tax scams to benefit their wealthy donors than the health and wellbeing of their constituents. Your personal stories are being heard, and we must keep sharing them because they are having a great impact.

To Republicans in Congress, the cruel cuts they advanced in this bill are simply numbers that they describe as “waste, fraud and abuse.” But people are not “waste, fraud and abuse.” As I made clear at an AAPI round table with community leaders, no human being is waste, fraud, and abuse, they are children in need of health care and food assistance, seniors who depend on long-term care, persons with disabilities, veterans relying on their earned benefits, and cancer patients in need of life-saving treatment.

We know from our grassroots VIP calls that Republican members of Congress from California have made themselves vulnerable with their YES vote to rip away health care and other vital help from their own constituents. Now more than ever, we must continue to apply pressure.

Friends, we are living in perilous times. The threats to California, our communities, and our country are real. But this is not the end of the story. In this moment, we must come together, lift our voices, rise up for our values, and hold the enablers of the Republicans’ cruel billionaire tax scam accountable. We don’t back down when the fight gets hard, we don’t agonize — we organize, and we unionize. So keep phone banking with us!

Thank you for fighting to Save Our Health Care.
