Call Mike Turner…Do The Right Thing!

The house voted last night to go to Conference Committee where an identical compromise bill will be agreed upon and sent back to each chamber for another full member floor vote. While the former path leaves little room for change, a Conference Committee creates a window for the bill to be derailed. The chambers may struggle to reconcile differences — ACA individual mandate repeal, child tax credit, estate tax, etc. — or other previously agreed upon caveats may fail in the interim. For example, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), voted for the Senate bill under the condition that two ACA-protecting bills pass first, but the House has offered no guarantees that they will pass either of them.

Regardless of the tax bill’s path forward, the passage of this bill in both chambers has illustrated that Republicans have prioritized lining the pocketbooks of the wealthy and corporations over providing much-needed relief for struggling middle-class families and workers.

Call Script

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Dayton.

I’m calling to express my strong disapproval of H.R. 1, the disastrous Republican tax bill, and to ask that Rep. Michael R. Turner vote against it when it comes out of the conference committee.

[ADD as many of the following reasons or your own]:

— Tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations will create a massive deficit increase, which will then be paid for with devastating cuts to Medicare, Social Security, education, and other vital programs.

— This bill was written behind closed doors by lobbyists and the American people have been consistently lied to about what it will do to their pocketbooks and livelihoods.

— The repeal of the ACA individual mandate will completely upend the health insurance market, uninsuring millions, spiking premiums, and risking coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.

— This bill will hand over pristine Alaskan land to oil companies, destroying protected land and endangering wildlife.

— The elimination of the SALT deduction will cause millions of middle-income Americans to pay higher taxes.

Thank you for your time and attention.
