Subject: One More Phone Call
Let’s Make One More Phone Call
Ok, maybe two
We are about to set a record for the number of co-sponsors of our bill in the Ohio House. We currently have 17 co-sponsors:
Nickie Antonio, Dan Ramos, Dave Leland, Michele Lepore-Hagan, Janine Boyd, John Patterson, Stephanie Howse, Thomas West, Adam Miller, Glenn Holmes, Tavia Galonski, Emilia Strong-Sykes, Jack Cera, Catherine Ingram, Brigid Kelly, Mike Sheehy, and Alicia Reece.
If you haven’t already, call their offices and tell them thank you. You can find contact information here.
Now, what about setting a record? Let’s make this year the one with the most co-sponsors ever! Can we get 3 more? How about 5? Do I hear 10? If your representative hasn’t signed on yet, make that first call. Again, contact information can be found here.
The Second Call
Rob Portman is again in need of your counsel. Call his office and tell him strongly that he needs to vote no on the tax bill. It is estimated that in order to fund the tax cuts for the already wealthy, it will be necessary to cut $25 billion from Medicare. This is not acceptable. You can call Rob at the following numbers:
Washington, DC 202-224-3353; Cleveland 216-522-7095; Cincinnati 216-522-7095; Toledo 419-259-3895; Columbus 614-469-6774
Toll-Free: 1-800-205-6446
Thank you for your support!

Subject: Re: HUGE loss for Trump tax giveaway
The list of Republican senators expressing doubts about Trump's giant tax scam keeps growing, with conservatives Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, and James Lankford now on the fence.1 Will you chip in $5 to help keep the pressure on?
We're. So. Close.
First, Senator Ron Johnson, an arch-conservative from Wisconsin, came out against the Republican Party's misguided plan to cut taxes for the wealthy and sabotage Obamacare.2 Then, 13 Republicans voted against the House tax bill.
Now, Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski seem to be leaning our way, and a new analysis shows the Senate tax plan will actually RAISE taxes on the poor and the middle class--a huge political blow to the bill's chances.3,4
If Sens. Collins, Murkowski, and Johnson vote no, the bill is dead. That's why we're making Senate phones ring off the hook in Washington, D.C., and organizing our members in key states to tell their stories about what this tax DEFORM plan would mean for them.
Will you chip in $5 to UltraViolet Action to help kill the Trump tax giveaway?
Desperate for a win, Senator Mitch McConnell and Trump are pushing to pass their rich-person giveaway when they come back after Thanksgiving. That means we've got just one week to raise hell in Maine, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska--the same kind of organizing that helped us kill Trumpcare earlier this year.
But just like this summer, we have to keep the pressure on senators from these states. We've got the cold hard facts: 13 million will lose their health insurance.5 Americans earning less than $75,000 a year will see their taxes INCREASE.6
We have to back up those facts with the stories of real people, real voters, who can't afford for this dangerous tax plan to become law.
And we certainly won't be silent about who would benefit from this tax bill: the super-rich. Trump, the Mercers, the Kochs--these are the special interests who'll get even richer off the backs of the poor and the sick if the Senate tax plan becomes law.
Yes, I'll chip in $5 to UltraViolet Action.

It begins, "Be it known that the American people and the Vietnamese people are not enemies. The war is carried out in the names of the people of the United States and South Vietnam, but without our consent. It destroys the land and people of Vietnam. It drains America of its resources, its youth, and its honor." The treaty was ultimately endorsed by millions. bit.ly/PeoplesPeaceTreaty

F.C.C. Plans Net Neutrality Repeal in a Victory for Telecoms
By CECILIA KANG
A rollback of net neutrality regulations would represent a significant victory for companies like AT&T and Comcast and would amount to a strike against consumers.

PRESS RELEASE
NAACP OPPOSES FCC PLAN TO REPEAL NET NEUTRALITY
NOVEMBER 21, 2017
Baltimore, MD (November 21, 2017) – The NAACP, the nation’s premier civil rights organization, staunchly opposes the Federal Communication Commission’s plans to eliminate critical safeguards ensuring an accessible internet.
Under the Obama administration, the country made essential steps towards protecting net neutrality, but the FCC’s new proposal announced by Chairman Ajit Pai calls for a set of repeals that would dismantle that progress. The plan would roll back the regulations implemented in 2015 and effectively exempt high-speed broadband internet service from the prohibition against unreasonable discrimination in Title II of the Communications Act. In sum, the plan ignores the importance of high-speed internet service to the well-being and advancement of the nation and puts the interests of wealthy corporations far above American citizens.
“The NAACP resolutely supports an open internet and opposes the FCC’s new plan,” said Derrick Johnson, NAACP president and CEO. “The internet is fundamental to economic opportunity, social action, and innovation in the modern age. It has the power to democratize information, it allows us to communicate instantly and effectively, and in recent years, it has facilitated innovation and been the catalyst for social justice movements. Throughout our 108 year history, the NAACP has fought against discrimination and for justice and equal opportunity for all. We see the fight for net neutrality as an extension of that mission.”
The FCC’s commissioners will vote to formally approve the plan on December 14. The NAACP calls upon the FCC leadership – and the telecom companies whom the plan would effect – to understand net neutrality as a social justice issue and respect the regulations already in place.

Subject: Robert Reich's video about MoveOn
I've just released a new video, and I hope that you'll click here and take a moment to watch it.
This video is a little bit different from the videos that I normally make—this video is actually about MoveOn.
I wanted to make a video about MoveOn because I've been a proud MoveOn member for many years, and I'm also proud to have partnered with them on videos and other projects.
MoveOn's work has a huge impact. And as we battle a trillion-dollar redistribution of wealth to the rich, we need MoveOn now more than ever.
Click here to watch my new video, "Five reasons why I support MoveOn," and learn how you can keep MoveOn strong in the months and years ahead.
We'll need MoveOn—as part of a powerful, broad-based social movement—to stop the immoral, shameful, and disastrous tax giveaway to corporations and the ultra wealthy that was just passed in the House, to protect the Affordable Care Act from going into a death spiral, to save 800,000 Dreamers from deportation, to continue pushing for investigations and the impeachment of Donald Trump, and to run an all-hands-on-deck campaign to get our country back on track in 2018.
Click here to watch my latest video, "Five reasons why I support MoveOn," and find out how you can help MoveOn continue its critical work.
Want to support MoveOn's work? The MoveOn community will work every moment, day by day and year by year, to resist Trump's agenda, contain the damage, defeat hate with love, and begin the process of swinging the nation's pendulum back toward sanity, decency, and the kind of future that we must never give up on. And to do it we need your ongoing support, now more than ever. Will you stand with us?

- The following was posted, earlier today, by a friend, on Facebook.
"So here’s the irony of Evangelicals, Conservatives and Republicans supporting Roy Moore. For decades y’all been telling us that gays couldn’t be teachers, scouts or scout leaders because they would molest children. You attempted to pass laws blocking transgendered citizens from using the bathroom they wish because of the fear that some child would be molested. But now that you have found a politician who will vote the way you want him to, you’re okay with his history of child molestation. As my grandfather would say you ain’t worth the asswhupping."

Subject: Live from Times Square: IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP
If you happened to be walking around Times Square today, like countless Americans do every day, you may have noticed something:
A brand new Need To Impeach digital billboard, featuring a map and a running count of the 2.5 million Americans (and growing by the second!) who have already signed our petition to impeach Donald Trump.
We launched this billboard in Times Square for a simple reason: The American people, Congress, and President Trump himself need to see the nationwide strength of our movement.
So we're making a splash that millions of people will see -- and we hope you'll share it far and wide, so folks who aren't walking around Times Square can see it, too.
Donald Trump continues to taunt rogue nuclear powers, attempt to cut taxes for wealthy corporations, and undermine our nation's healthcare system. He's a clear and present danger to the United States.
Enough is enough. Americans across the country are declaring that this president is unfit for office and must be removed.
