Until the 2020 Election


TRUMP’S CRUELTY POLICY COSTING CHILDREN THEIR HEALTHCARE 


Despite having a strong economy and low unemployment, 400,000 children lost their health insurance between 2016 to 2018.

The Trump GOP’s vicious (Greg Walden led) assault on Obamacare created this devastating trend:

  • Trying to repeal the ACA and cut Medicaid 
  • Delaying the funding of CHIP
  • Eliminating the individual mandate
  • Slashing outreach and navigators for ACA enrollment
  • Encouraging states to enact work requirements

The Trump regime’s cruel immigration policy specifically targets the healthcare of Latinx children. Cruelty has been this administration’s immigration policy all along. 

As the November 21st deadline for the budget approaches, there will be a strong push for Congress to compromise in an effort to get home for the holiday, especially with the threat of Trump shutting down the government to avoid impeachment. 

Demand that our MoCs continue to push for impeachment hearings, vote to impeach and remove Trump, and work for a budget that protects the safety net for the children – for everyone.

Impeach and Remove Trump!

Protect the Safety Net!

Protect the Children!


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

. . . I am devastated to hear that so many children lost their health insurance with Trump in office and I’m worried that more sacrifices will be made in this year’s budget.  As you ready the Senate for an impeachment trial please make sure the next budget protects our safety net and has no increase in funds for ICE/CBP.

Thank you.

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . . 

. . . I am devastated to hear that so many children lost their health insurance with Trump in office with Greg Walden leading the charge. Now I’m worried that more sacrifices will be made in this year’s budget.  As Greg looks to his legacy, please tell him to support the impeachment process and make sure the next budget protects our safety net and has no increase in funds for ICE/CBP. It’s never too late to do the right thing. 

Through Greg’s actions and inactions, he continues to signal his full support for trumpism, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here and will continue working to flip ORD2 Blue in 2020.

Thank you.”
