DEMOCRATIC and republican representatives and senators need to be called and / or e mailed and told by the people, the 99%, to vote against the republican tax plan that takes from the middle class, the retired, the poor, the working poor, from students and children and military veterans to give tax breaks to the 1%, to the greedy American oligarchy that has bought and paid for the drumpf/trump-pence administration and is demanding a return on their corrupt "investment". Find your representative here and your senators here and remember DEMOCRACY IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT so if you do not contact your elected officials and the republican tax legislation is passed so every day becomes a BOHICA day for you and your family just remember to be looking in the mirror when you are complaining about it.

Some think the fight to defeat the tax bill may be lost, but it's far from over.
The bill is still headed for one final vote, and Republicans in Congress are already facing a barrage of protests.
Constituents shut down Sen. Susan Collins' office in Bangor, Maine. Folks in Toms River, New Jersey marched to The Beatles' "Taxman" to urge Rep. Chris Smith to vote no. And at over 60 colleges and universities in 33 states, students protested the Republican tax bill's plan to make college unaffordable.
Your Representative, your Senator, may be one of the few who isn't entirely convinced by the tax plan, is facing a ton of constituent outrage, too. That's why Republican leaders are frantically trying to rush a final vote. Your call could actually swing their vote--and kill this bill.
When you contact your Representative and Senators it's best to speak in your own words, but here are some points to get you started.
- Hi, my name is ___ from [your location]. I'm calling to demand the Representative vote NO on the final tax plan.
- 83 million middle- and working-class families will get a tax hike to pay for an additional 20% tax break for corporations and the 62% of tax cuts that will go to the top 1%.
- How can the Representative plan on ending individual tax cuts for middle-class families while giving corporations a permanent tax giveaway?
- Women and their families will end up paying for this plan. The plan will gut Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance, and other services millions of women rely on so billionaires and corporations don't have to pay their fair share.
- Under the Senate tax plan, 13 million people will end up without health care. Don't let that happen!
- Voters oppose the plan by 2-to-1. How can the Representative/Senator vote against her/his constituents?
