Friday 9/22 Call to Action

Friday
Let’s see if I can find a fresh spin on the flaming turd that is ACA repeal. Let’s be real. The GOP doesn’t care what’s in the Graham-Cassidy bill, they just want to please their donors and get rid of Obamacare.
Here are some more ideas of actions you can take to help prevent the G-C bill from passing in the Senate.
1. On Monday, September 25th, the one and only hearing on the G-C bill will take place in the Senate. Would you or an organization you represent like to include your views in the hearing record? Submit a typewritten, single-spaced statement (no more than 10 pages). You must include the title and date of the hearing and you or your organization’s address on the first page of the statement. Email the committee here: GCHcomments@finance.senate.gov or mail comments here: Senate Committee on Finance, Attn. Editorial and Document Section, Rm. SD-219, Dirksen Senate Office Bldg., Washington, DC 20510-6200. After you are finished submitting it to the Senate, consider sending it to your local paper as well.
2. Help encourage constituents from critical states to contact their senators. Sign up here to be connected to voters in other states. Urge them to voice their opposition to the G-C bill. https://www.trumpcareten.org/calls-to-kill-trumpcare
3. Is your member of Congress a liar? Are his/her pants on fire? ProPublica is looking for people to help fact-check the information that members of Congress are sending to their constituents regarding the repeal of the ACA. If you’ve got the goods, let ProPublica know by filling out this form here.https://www.propublica.org/…/help-us-fact-check-members-of-…
4. Watch President Barack Obama speak at the Gates Foundation. (I miss you!!!)

Stop FCC Chairman Ajit Pai
FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai has been the topic of many calls to action in the past. His efforts to destroy net neutrality http://www.startribune.com/franken-open-internet-advocat…/…/
and his support of the Sinclair Broadcasting/Tribune Media merger http://www.salon.com/…/fcc-exploits-loophole-to-push-massi…/ are both cause for alarm. Senator Al Franken has been a vocal thorn in Mr. Pai’s side. Pai needs to be reconfirmed by the Senate by the end of the year in order to maintain his current position. Let’s call our senators, specifically Sen. Klobuchar, and tell them you oppose Pai’s reconfirmation.
