Actions for Friday
Our Democratic senators can make voting on this bill slower, more divisive, and more politically damaging than any vote these Republicans have ever taken. In fact, that’s what this moment demands of them and what we expect.
The longer we can drag this process out, the more we can toxify a bill that Republicans are already publicly tearing apart. And the more we can toxify the bill, the better the chance we can ultimately defeat it.
Here are two steps to have an impact …
Step 1: Call Our Senators - Schiff & Padilla
Our sources on Capitol Hill are hearing that Senator Schumer and the Democratic brass haven’t committed to dragging this vote to a grinding, screeching, clanking halt. Some of our Democratic Senators need a wake-up call from their constituents ASAP; others like Schiff and Padilla, just need a reminder that we’ll have their backs when they fight as hard as possible.
We’ve provided a script and will connect you to the right office, but you need to make the call.
Step 2: Share Your Own Amendment
Senate Democrats can propose changes forcing votes on the Big, Ugly Bill, with virtually no limit on how many painful votes they can force Republicans to take.
We want to see as many amendments offered as possible, and we’re calling on this community to help craft some and share them with your senators! Be creative. Go wild. Just try to focus them on taxes and spending -- because that’s all that can go into a reconciliation bill.
Your amendment could be something like:
An amendment to transfer all the dollars for ICE funding
to NPR and PBS, insteadAn amendment to tax recipients of luxury jets gifted by foreign governments at 100% of the jet's market value
An amendment to cut every lawmaker’s salary and per diem by the same percentage SNAP gets cut
Suggestions may be silly ... poignant ... or genuinely good policy. Pretty much all of them will be better than the disaster MAGA Republicans want to force on us, so don’t be shy:
Indivisible Nevada County is currently holding a fundraising campaign.
We have ongoing expenses that we need help with!
