CALL TO ACTION FOR TUESDAY: Block Tom Price, HHS Nominee

An enemy of women’s reproductive rights, he led the charge to repeal Obamacare in Congress. How he can he safeguard our health?

Tom Price is going before the finance committee tomorrow. Here’s a script:

I am a constituent concerned about President-Elect Trump’s nomination of Representative Tom Price to the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services. I ask that Senator _______ oppose this nomination because Representative Price has repeatedly worked against expanding healthcare. He has also espoused privatizing Medicare, a policy that would have devastating effects for senior citizens. His attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act would potentially take healthcare away from 20 million of our most vulnerable citizens. We have also learned that while Representative Price was in the House, he invested in a medical supply company hours before proposing legislation that would be beneficial to that company. This is a clear conflict of interest. I urge _________ to oppose the proposed nomination of Representative Price and to speak out against it forcefully.

Burr, Portman, Hatch, and Heller are Republicans who might be good call targets.

Nelson, McCaskill, and Menendez might be vulnerable, so it would be worth letting them know you have their backs.
