Common Sense Policies For America
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.
HEROES OF THE RESISTANCE
The resistance to Trump, Musk, and Republicans is growing. You are all heroes for whatever you’ve contributed to the resistance. There are many heroes, including federal workers who work diligently despite the chaos and threats, as well as those who have resigned or resisted being fired to protest.
STOP THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION FUNDING BILL
Please contact your US Senators NOW and ask them to vote against the Continuing Resolution (CR) funding bill that the House Republicans passed. It has many very objectionable provisions. If you have a Democratic Senator, ask them to filibuster it.
RESISTANCE ACTIONS ON UKRAINE AND TRUMP
Please contact your US Representative and Senators NOW and ask them to support Ukraine. Contact Trump and ask him to stop the tariffs, the Republican budget, Musk, and Kennedy’s lackadaisical response to measles and the bird flu. Sample messages and contact information are provided.

TRUMP, DOGE, AND THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT CARE ABOUT EFFICIENCY
