Call to State Action – “Yes” on the Healthy California Act (SB 562)

It’s time CA’s healthcare joined the rest of the advanced nations.

Script: “I’m calling today to ask you to support Senate Bill 562 “Californians For A Healthy California.” I’m asking that you stand up and help California take the lead in creating a comprehensive universal single-payer health coverage program.

Vote “NO” on the Financial Choice Act. We’re not in the mood for another Great Recession!

Remember the 2008 financial crisis that nearly tanked the world economy? Congress doesn’t.

They want to repeal key parts of Dodd-Frank, including the Volker Rule prohibiting banks from making those risky speculative investments that caused the mess.  They also want to prevent the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from fining institutions for unfair lending practices.

Script: I’m calling to ask Congresswoman Brownley to vote NO on the “Financial Choice Act”, the GOP-inspired repeal of the parts of the Dodd-Frank act that endanger our economy while making Trump and his friends rich.

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

OR Rep. Salud Carbajal: DC (202) 225-3601, SB (805) 730-1710 SLO (805) 546-8348

The Unsettling Truth of the Rolling Back of Dodd-Frank Regulations

 

It’s time for California to lead the way.

While the millionaires in Congress and the insurance industry are busy figuring out the best way of applying lipstick to their pig – giving us a lot less care for a lot more money, it’s time for California to step up to protect its citizens. We are ready for the fierce  disinformation campaigns that will be funded by the insurance industry. Bring it on!

Jeff Session’s out of control. Time to stop his racist mass imprisonment plan!

Support the bipartisan Justice Safety Valve Act (HR 2435/S1127)

AG Jeff Sessions is advocating institutional racism with mandatory minimum sentencing, which conservatives and liberals alike see as destructive to generations of minorities, impacting their future ability to vote, rent an apartment, or get a job. Whites use drugs equally but minorities are 4-5 times more likely to be convicted, which destroys their lives, families and communities.

This stops with our kids. Don’t let Trump & DeVos destroy our public schools!

Trump’s budget will deal a heavy blow to public education. It will strip $10.6 billion from federal education initiatives (including enrichment and afterschool programs for poorer school districts, physical education, anti-bullying campaigns and advanced coursework), and funnel a big hunk of our money into private, religious and charter schools.

Script:  I’m calling (___) today to urge support for public education in the United States.  Trump’s budget strips critical funds from our public schools, which will negatively impact a whole generation of children.
