Reject Trump’s Budget cuts to the NIH; our lives depend on it!

Trump’s proposed 18% budget cuts to the National Institute of Health (NIH) will impact research for cancer, Alzheimer’s, Ebola and Zika vaccines and HIV/AIDS. 90% of the NIH budget is focused on research and is so important, that Congress recently voted them a raise. Vice-President Joe Biden said, “This would set.. biomedical research, back 15 years.”

Call all three Members of Congress

Script: I’m calling to express my support of the National Institute of Health and to request that you protect its funding so that it can continue cutting-edge medical research projects.

No on HR 1215. You can’t place a federally imposed limit on the value of my life! (1 of 3 today)

For those with federally funded health care, HR 1215 caps medical malpractice payouts to $250,000, overruling any state laws that declare such caps unconstitutional. It punishes those insured by the ACA (or veterans insured through the VA) by placing a federally imposed limit on the value of their lives.

Script:  I’m calling from [zip] to ask Rep. Brownley to vote “NO” on HR 1215. ACA insurance doesn’t make me worth less than a privately insured person.

No on H.J. Res 86. Don’t sell my Internet privacy! (2 of 2 today)

H.J. Res 86 allows Internet service providers (ISPs) to share and sell your browsing history without your permission, including geolocation, financial, health, and children’s information. The Senate has already passed a bill to do this. If the House passes it too, it will strip you of your online privacy and prevent the FCC from reinstating similar regulations in the future.

Not so fast on the Trumpcare vote. No ACA votes before new CBO report!

Republicans in Congress are scrambling, making last minute changes and compromises to Trumpcare. Their goal is to repeal the ACA on the 6th anniversary of its passage, March 23rd.

However, changes deserve thorough vetting, not being rushed through for a stunt deadline. Demand another CBO analysis, and 48 hours for public review, before any vote.

Call Congresswoman Julia Brownley: DC (202) 225-5811, Oxnard (805) 379-1779, T.O. (805) 379-1779

Demand an Independent Commission on Russia – Call our Representative! (2 of 2)

On Monday, FBI Director James Comey confirmed they have been investigating ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia since July of 2016. Despite this bombshell, the House Intelligence Committee focused instead on leaks to the press.

This investigation cannot move forward with partisan politics. A 9/11-style special commission into Russia’s interference is required.

Oppose ANY health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood!

IMG_0426

Paul Ryan’s ACA replacement bill will defund planned parenthood, cutting off critical health care services for millions of low income women and men.   https://tinyurl.com/hh4m2kt

Call Representative Brownley and ask her to oppose ANY health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood.

The proposed GOP health care bill is a triple strike against families and reproductive rights for women.  It defunds Planned Parenthood, which provides critical health care services (including mammograms and contraceptives) to women.  Women would not be able to use tax credits to purchase insurance that includes abortion coverage.  And the bill would not provide health insurance to cover maternity costs.  This is a bill families cannot afford.

If this dangerous bill becomes law, as many as 2.5 million people will be cut off from essential health care services.

Script: Hi! I am calling from [zip code] to ask Congressman Brownley to oppose ANY health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood. For a lot of women in this country, Planned Parenthood is the only doctor they have. Thank you.

Demand a Review of “Ryancare”

Ask Congresswoman Brownley to demand that the GOP make any ACA repeal legislation (“Ryancare”) public and insist that it undergo a full Congressional Budget Office (CBO) review.

The bill has been crafted by the House Energy and Commerce Committee and has been kept secret. Even fellow Republicans don’t know what’s in it.
