1. Please ensure that ACA tax credits are extended.
2. Please do all in your power to stop this administration from continuing to deploy the National Guard unnecessarily and dangerously against our citizens for no more reason than political theatre.
As retired Army Major General Paul Eaton stated::
"The National Guard, when federalized, is no different from the active force. As a retired Soldier, I am calling this out for what it is - and what others who have served surely recognize - a horrifying misuse of our military..
"Using the National Guard has become a pattern for Trump. This isn't the first time or city we've seen this tactic used, but it needs to be the last.. Using the military to create political theater as a means of distraction is nothing more than intimidation. Make no mistake - the deployment of active duty Marines and federalized California National Guard in Los Angeles was blatant political intimidation, as well,” .
"Trump himself refused to activate the Guard when our Capitol was under attack; he should be embarrassed he is activating them now."
We are in a very dangerous moment as a country and I beg of you all to do all in your power to prevent us from falling further into an authoritarian, veering swiftly toward fascist, regime. This is not the America envisioned by our founders and it is not the prosperous, protective, free nation it can and should be.
