Dear Senator / Representative --

I want you to hold the line regarding the need to make permanent the extended ACA subsidies that keep healthcare affordable for 24 million Americans. Please stand jointly with those Republicans who have seen how damaging the end of ACA subsidies will be so that America sees through the lies many members of this Republican Administration are spreading. Healthcare plan open season starts in November for the millions of small business owners and small farmers who rely on ACA plans, so this issue must remain a priority.

I also want you to reverse the funding cuts to the nutrition assistance programs that 44 million of Americans need to get enough to eat every month. No one in the United States deserves to be hungry, especially children.

I don’t want you to agree to any new budget that cuts nutrition assistance or healthcare.

This is not about politics; it is about people, and it is about what kind of country we choose to be.
