Tuesday
I bet you can guess what I am going to say.
1. HR 1 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Are you sick of it? Because I am sick of it. But we have to keep calling. This bill is as important as the healthcare bill but it just doesn’t garner the same wave of resistance. Our Republican members of Congress (MoC) are busy spreading misinformation about the tax bill but they consistently fail to provide real data to back up their claims. It is up to us to set the record straight.

Here is an easy to read piece from the Washington Post that gives you some talking points to refute some of the biggest lies Republican have been telling.https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/f6fbd1ae-c8b7-11e7-b0cf-76…

2. Protect Alaska’s Wildlife Refuge
On Wednesday, the Senate will be debating whether or not to allow the Secretary of Interior (Ryan Zinke) to lease parts of Alaska’s wildlife refuge for oil and gas production. As Zinke said, “Alaska is open for business.” The Trump administration’s goal is to dominate the globe in fossil fuel production, but the price of this production is high. The wildlife refuge is one of the few truly wild places left on Earth. Once it is disturbed, there is no going back.

3. Secretary of Health & Human Services
Yesterday, Trump announced that he was nominating Alex Azar to replace Tom Price as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Azar background includes working at Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical corporation, and some time at the Health and Human Services Department under G. W. Bush. Is it a good idea to let someone with pharmaceutical ties run HHS? Read up here and decide for yourself.
