Hi, I’m a constituent calling/emailing from [zip]. My name is ______.

want the Senate to pass the ACA Premium Tax Credit extensions. Congress may think we’ve forgotten about this issue but we haven’t—because we are drowning in healthcare bills! We need the Senate to pass those subsidies so we can afford our insurance premiums.

Also, I am disgusted that the Trump administration is targeting journalists—particularly Black ones. We are in a dangerous place when an Executive starts going after the press in this way. Congress needs to stand up to protect the First Amendment and the independence of the press. May I ask what statement the Senator has made denouncing this? Has s/he called for all charges against Don Lemon and the three other Black journalists arrested to be dropped? Because if not s/he should. Immediately.

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

Tom Emmer (202) 225-2331; (763) 241-6848  emmer.house.gov

Hi, I’m a constituent calling/emailing from [zip]. My name is _______. I’m calling because I understand that House Republicans may be trying to put a more extreme version of the SAVE Act—either the Make Elections Great Again Act or the Save America Act—into the current DHS funding bill. I oppose that strenuously. Those are all voter suppression bills—they are unneeded and destructive.

Furthermore, I want the Congressmember to oppose any appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding. These untrained thugs are endangering public safety and need to be held accountable.

Finally, I’m furious that the Epstein files STILL haven’t been fully released, and that the DOJ released files on Friday that not only didn’t protect the victims but listed their full names and showed pictures of them as young girls. This is criminal. Pam Bondi needs to be removed.

Click here to use Indivisible’s email tool to demand that all your Members of Congress: Votes no for an appropriations bill that doesn’t rein in ICE.
