The GOP ACA REPEAL AND REPLACE PLAN

The GOP released its much heralded, secretly crafted health care plan, and it’s a bust. Huge parts of the country could be left off of coverage, and the bill specifically targets Planned Parenthood, even though the federal government is already barred from providing funding for abortion services. This bill pretty much takes the parts of the ACA which needed to be fixed and makes them exponentially worse. Proof positive that the only things the GOP has in mind is giving a huge handout to insurance companies while sticking it to working people in this country.

“…the proposal “would rip health care away from millions of Americans, ration care for working families and seniors, and put insurance companies back in charge of health care decisions…”

Script:

Hello, I am a constituent in zip code _____ and I am calling to urge Rep. ___________ to oppose the GOP repeal and replace ACA plan. This plan covers fewer people, costs more, and needlessly targets Planned Parenthood. Thank you for your time.

STATE:

HB 200:
Without fair districts, we cannot have fair elections. By now, we have all learned about the corrosive effect of race-based gerrymandering on the political process in North Carolina. This is not a partisan issue, and we need to take redistricting out of the hands of the legislature. HB 200 would create a truly independent, nonpartisan board that would draw fair lines. Please call the your state house rep and Senator and urge them to support independent redistricting.

Script:

Hello, I am a constituent in zip code _____________ and I am calling to urge to support HB 200, which would create a nonpartisan redistricting commission that would end gerrymandering. Some Republicans support this bill, and we urge you to get it to a swift vote. Thank you for your time.
