Actions for Week of July 10, 2017


Monday, July 10
Mail Your Representatives About Healthcare
After the Independence Day recess, Republicans are returning to Washington having made no progress on their healthcare bill. However, we should not underestimate Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's ability to strike a deal. Keep the pressure on by printing, signing, and sending these letters today. The letters demand that the Democrats stop merely opposing TrumpCare, but offer their own more-compelling solution.

Tuesday, July 11
Follow Up Your Letter With a Call
The offices of senators and congresspeople tally calls received every day. The more calls they receive about a particular issue, the more urgent it becomes for them (it doesn't matter which of their offices you call). Use Monday's letters as a script and call about healthcare.

Your representatives also take notice of Twitter. If you're on Twitter, tweet them!
