Wednesday, 11/22
I’m keeping today’s calls short, but more of the same, as they are big ones. We will be taking a short break over the holiday to relax and get ready for next week, so there won’t be any call to actions until Monday. We hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving. Thank you for being a part of this community.
1. Tax Bill
Do you like that billionaires will get a tax break while 82 millions middle class families will pay more in taxes? I don’t either. I’m reposting what Krista wrote yesterday since our Senators are opposed to this bill.
Let Indivisible help you call like minded constituents from key states. Encourage those citizens to act now to stop this tax bill before it becomes the law of the land. Check out this link for the steps to get started.
2. Net Neutrality
It looks like the FCC wants to eliminate or raise the ownership caps for big media companies with stations for more than 39 percent of households with a television. In a notice, Pai said he wanted to "seek public input on whether to modify, retain, or eliminate the 39 percent national cap." This just seems like if the cap is lifted it leads to FOX news television, and authoritarian state run tv.
This may actually be a great topic to bring up at the Thanksgiving. The internet connects all of us with a way of communication, and how we access and share information. It’s important. What is at stake? Internet service providers like Comcast, AT&T, Charter, these companies could charge more for service, they could block content that is not in line with their business. For rural communities it could make the infrastructure with getting faster internet more difficult. This is not a republican vs. democrat issue. Almost everyone uses the internet. Both of our Senators support net neutrality. Your homework is to talk about with your friends and family in red states/areas.
3. Attentions Resisters in CD2!
I want to call attention to two fantastic websites that are available to resisters in congressional district 2.
