Currently the Republican budget reconciliation bill contains multiple unethical, undemocratic, and unequitable provisions. Unless the bill is revised to be equitable for the nation, vote NO on the Republican reconciliation bill.
Having read news articles and publications, it is my understanding that the Republican budget reconciliation bill would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in U.S. history.
The bill passed the House, with all Democrats and two Republicans voting no, and is now headed to the Senate. This is the moment for all Representatives, who believe in democracy, to do everything possible to eliminate all of the unequitable and unethical parts of the Republican reconciliation bill.
Some of the many highly concerning individual provisions:
Medicaid cuts and work requirements
Medicare cuts
SNAP cuts
Massive increase in funds for deportation and detainment
Eliminating the clean energy tax cuts from the Inflation Reduction Act Trillion dollar Pentagon budget and billions for Elon Musk
Failing to extend premium tax credits for the Affordable Care Act
Attacks on gender-affirming health care
Stripping judges of power to enforce contempt of court
Public funds being routed to private schools (school choice vouchers)
PELL Grant cuts to over 1.4 million students
Defunding Planned Parenthood
Ban on AI regulation
Any provision that chips away at our democracy-and basic sense of humanity
Unless the bill is revised to be equitable for the nation, vote NO on the Republican reconciliation bill.
Thank you
