Common Sense Policies For America
EXAMPLES OF THE HUMAN TOLL OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ACTIONS
The Trump administration is making us less safe from disease, violence, and death. Cuts to Medicaid and Medicare will increase deaths. So will weakening gun violence prevention efforts. Finally, the Trump administration’s war on children is harming children and will increase deaths for them too.
ASK YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO OPPOSE THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET
Contact your U.S. Representative and ask them to oppose the draconian measures, including major cuts to Medicaid, in the Republican budget the House is considering. Its spending cuts will harm millions of Americans while it gives tax cuts to wealthy individuals and corporations.
RESISTANCE: PEOPLE’S PROMISE LETTER, USPS, NIH, ETC.
Trump is taking so many illegal, cruel, and objectionable actions that it’s hard to know what to focus on. Most important is to regularly raise your voice and take actions to resist, protest, and push back. For example, ask Congress to support the NIH and USPS. Sign the People’s Promise letter.
THE RESISTANCE IS BUILDING!
The resistance to Trump and company is building. Public protests and pushback at congressional town hall meetings are growing. A few Republicans in Congress are standing up. Democrats are resisting more strongly. Contact your members of Congress and tell them to do more to resist!
PROTEST ABDUCTIONS AND AT APRIL 5 EVENTS
Contact your US Representative and Senators and ask them to demand that law abiding, legal U.S. residents that have been abducted and detained by ICE be released immediately and that these illegal arrests stop. If you can, join the big, nationwide HANDS OFF! protest planned for Saturday, April 5. Also, ask your US Rep to support and vote for Senate Bill S.1077, the 2025 District of Columbia (D.C.) Local Funds Act.
SIGNALGATE: AN UNFORGIVABLE NATIONAL SECURITY BREACH
Top Trump administration officials in the military and intelligence agencies have committed an unbelievable and unforgivable breach of national security. Investigations by Congress and the military are essential. Officials responsible should resign, be fired, or be impeached, and perhaps prosecuted.
PROTEST NATIONAL SECURITY BREACH ETC.
Contact your US Rep & Senators. Demand a full investigation of the recent, major national security breach. Demand resignations, firings, or impeachment of the officials involved. Also, nationwide protests at Tesla dealerships Sat., 3/29 & BIG, nationwide protests on Sat., 4/5.
ARE TARIFFS AND NO TAX ON TIPS GOOD POLICIES?
Trump’s proposal to eliminate taxes on tips sounds good but analysis shows it’s bad policy. Tariffs can be used effectively, but Trump’s tariff actions are already hurting our economy and will raise prices. They’re also ripe for political corruption.
RESISTANCE AND PROTEST ACTIONS
Contact your US Rep and Senators regularly to thank them when appropriate and encourage them to resist and protest when needed. Join a protest in-person if you can. Big, nationwide protests are planned for Sat., April 5, and there are many protests planned before then.
