We MUST call swing-state Senators and tell them to do all they can to stop the Trump Tax Scam. It will hurt a majority of us with . . .
One of the largest transfers of wealth in American history!
Kill the Bill!
**ACTION 1: CALL CONSTITUENTS IN SWING STATES **
Call progressive constituents in critical swing states – Alaska, Arizona, and West Virginia – and urge them to call their Senators to vote NO on the Tax Scam.
The Indivisible Guide makes it easy with their calling tool: https://www.trumptaxscam.org/calls-to-kill-the-tax-scam/
Better yet: invite visiting family/friends to join you and make calls together! Count how many calls you can make and cheer each other on!
**ACTION 2: CALL BOTH OUR SENATORS**
(Leave a message if you can’t get through.)
SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS:
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon [zip code]. I am outraged by the Trump Tax Scam. It will hurt so many Americans. Please use all Senate procedural tools available—including withholding consent and the filibuster where possible—to ensure that the Tax Scam never becomes law. Thank you.”
