Maine and Arizona voters...WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Stop the Tax Scam. Just received this today from Indivisible. VERY IMPORTANT!!!! ACT NOW!
Indivisibles --
WOW.
We don’t know about you… but we woke up this morning feeling energized, renewed, and ready to go in to this final stretch of the tax fight! Last night’s victory proves that when we fight we win.
Yesterday, we got two new pieces of information that are shaping the landscape of this tax fight. In the morning, we heard that the conference committee will unveil their conference report (read our explainer on what that means) on Friday. And the Senate could vote as early as Monday, with the House close behind them.
Then, late last night Doug Jones won the Alabama special Senate election to fill Jeff Sessions’ seat. Doug Jones’ victory changes the game on the tax scam. Republicans are likely to rush the tax scam through before Jones is seated and do whatever they can to stall seating him. Mitch McConnell is doing everything he can to ram this thing through and, with a new Democratic Senator headed to DC soon, he’s feeling the heat.
Once again, we’re pulling out all the stops to defeat the tax scam… and bringing back our peer-to-peer calling tool (AKA hubdialer). Can you sign up to make calls to progressives in Maine and Arizona?
Here’s how it works:
Click here to sign up to make phone calls from our peer-to-peer dialing tool. You’ll get an email confirmation with a login, password, and URL to sign into our system. Once signed in, you can start making calls immediately -- and we’ll give you a script to make it as easy as possible!
Next, you’ll call a voter in Arizona or Maine. These folks are your friends -- they attended the Women’s March, they’re fighting for a #DreamActNow, and fight for progressive causes.
You explain how they have power now. You’ll remind them why the continued fight against the tax scam is so important -- and why they have particular power in this moment.
You ask them to use their power. You’ll ask them to call their senator in opposition to the bill, and to share their own reasons for opposing it.
The tool connects them to their Senator’s office. The call tool will allow you to automatically patch them through to the Senators’ district offices.
In addition to Jones’ victory last night, we have a lot of leverage in this fight. Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME), Jeff Flake (AZ), and Marco Rubio (FL) voted for the tax scam, but both have also said the bill wasn’t perfect. There are also a number of differences between the two bills and the Republican caucus isn’t aligned yet. They’re running out of time to get everything done and we can stop them.
Amp up the pressure on these targets: Sign up now to start making calls to progressives in red states. You can make calls as much as you want every day from 9am to 9pm local time until the tax scam fight is over.
In solidarity,
The Indivisible Team
PS -- We can’t say it enough: we’re blown away by what this movement accomplished last night. Along with so many partners on the ground, they canvassed in Madison, Lee, and Mobile counties that flipped from Trump to Jones. And volunteers across the country sent 242,420 texts to Alabamians to get out the vote. Can you chip in to help us take our lessons learned from Alabama e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e in 2018?

PLEASE CALL and pressure them non stop. Social Security, Medicare and the ACA ate on the chopping block. IT IS NOT OVER...WE CAN AND WILL WIN! McConnell and Ryan are scared (GOOD). Get everyone you know to call, attend an event, sit in, use social media and keep CALLING. It literally takes 2 whole minutes. Get up and do it NOW... NO EXCUSES!!!!! We must and will WIN! We have kept legislation from getting through for a year and it isn't over. I am determined to use my rights as an American to tell the GOP reps that the 99% will NOT BE DEFEATED!

Call non stop and spread the word. I live in a blue state and call the red states all the time by using addresses from Zillow from each state (empty house for rent, sale, whatever)and takes 2 minutes (really) and it works like a charm. I have a legit address, zip if they ask and a cell phone doesn't count as far as area codes are concerned. The phone staffers just want to know if you support it or not (they DO keep records/tallies). If their mailboxes are full leave a message...they get those too. I have called over 450 times in the past year (mostly to red states since I live in a blue one). I am sick and tired of taking the high road and bringing butter knives to a gun fight. My country's future is at stake and I will not go down quietly. Far from it. I call my reps to thank them and encourage them too. CALL non stop since it IS working and McConnell and Ryan are pushing this through since they know that we know the tax scam sucks. It will end the ACA and lead to the end of Social Security and Medicare. Grass roots efforts have been working hard all year and we have kept major legislation from passing. It is NOT OVER YET! KEEP CALLING and tell everyone you know in every state to persist, RESIST and stay strong.
