Please call your representatives and express your opposition to the proposed budget:
- $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid which will result in 36 million poor people losing their healthcare coverage and the closure of rural medical facilities.
- $230 billion in cuts to food stamps or SNAP which could impact over 40 million hungry families
- The dissolution of HeadStart which provides childcare for 650,000 poor and low-income children
AT THE SAME TIME, Congress is proposing:
- $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires, while requiring the poorest 20 percent of Americans to pay more in taxes
- Hundreds of billions of dollars for increased militarization of our communities, deportations of our immigrant neighbors, and war abroad.
I just called the three legislators from Florida and left them this message.
An aide in Rep. Steube's office answered the phone.
