Call to Action: Thursday, July 6, 2017
WE MUST TAKE ACTION EVERY DAY THIS WEEK TO STOP TRUMPCARE
And another very real possibility under Trumpcare http://bit.ly/2ugqTnV
We must keep fighting to stop it!
Senators Wyden and Merkley are leading the charge against Trumpcare!
But they need our support to keep going!
**ACTION 1: CALL SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKLEY**
They need these calls of support. Please call daily. Keep calling until you can leave a message with a person or machine (voicemails count!)
SAMPLE SCRIPT
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I want to thank Senator [–] for standing up against Trumpcare and holding so many town halls during the 4th of July recess. Please know that I will continue to call and fight against Trumpcare. Together we can stop this bill in the Senate.”
**ACTION 2: ATTEND ROGUE INDIVISIBLE’S “HEALTH CARE FOR ALL” RALLY TODAY IN GRANTS PASS, 10:00 A.M. – NOON**
Meet on Union Avenue behind Asante Three Rivers Medical Center. The medical center address is 500 SW Ramsey Ave, Grants Pass.
**ACTION 3: GO TO SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKELY’S RALLIES AND TOWNHALLS**
Make plans to go to Senators Wyden and Merkley’s “IT’S NOT OVER” Rallies against Trumpcare and their town halls in your area. Details here: http://bit.ly/IO_Events
**ACTION 4: SUBMIT A PUBLIC COMMENT VIA REGULATIONS.GOV**
The Trump administration has asked the public what it thinks about repealing the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. We need to surprise them by sending in a flood of messages supporting it and opposing repeal.
The request for information was posted to ask for comments on Trump’s executive order attempting to delay and sabotage the Affordable Care Act. But it is a golden opportunity to pour in messages supporting Medicare, Medicaid and lifesaving health care reforms. Already, people have started submitting messages opposing Trumpcare.
The timing could not be more urgent – this public comment period coincides with Senate Republicans’ secretive efforts to end Medicaid and steal health care from millions. Every comment helps make it clear that opposition to Trumpcare is simply overwhelming and emerging everywhere possible. Comments are due by July 12.
Submit a public comment: Fight Trumpcare and oppose repealing the Affordable Care Act.
