CONTINUE TO RESIST

Resisting the Trump Agenda!  So What’s Next?

• Keep your Members of Congress (MoCs) accountable on HEALTH CARE.

Just because there was no vote doesn’t mean your MoC doesn’t need constituent feedback. Let them know that the ACA needs improvements rather than the President & GOP’s plan to do nothing.

• Protect the Supreme Court for decades to come: no cloture on #SupremelyExtreme Gorsuch.

To ensure that Gorsuch doesn’t roll back civil rights, women’s rights, labor rights, and many other rights for years to come, ask your Senators (regardless of party) to vote “NO on cloture” for Gorsuch. Voting for “cloture” means voting to cut off debate and end a filibuster.

• Keep the pressure on Congress to force the release of Trump’s tax returns.

Tell your Representative to cosponsor H.R.186, a Resolution of Inquiry directing the Secretary of the Treasury to provide the House of Representatives with Trump’s tax returns.

·        Shed some sunlight on Trump’s Russia ties.

Tell your Representative to cosponsor H.R. 356, the Protecting our Democracy Act, which would create a special commission to investigate Russian interference into our elections.

Tell your Senators to cosponsor S. 27, which would similarly create an independent commission to investigate Russian interference in our democratic institutions.  

• Protect Americans’ privacy from corporate greed.

Last week, while many of us were focused on defending health care, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans passed S.J. Res. 34 on a narrow, party-line vote. This bill would block the Federal Communications Commission from regulating large internet service providers (think Comcast) in their efforts to sell the troves of information they gather about you without your consent. The House is poised to vote on this measure, H.J. Res. 86, this week. Call your MoC and tell them to protect your privacy and side with ordinary people over powerful corporate interests by opposing this resolution.
