A graphic asking Hoosiers to call their U.S. Senators to vote NO on HR1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Senator Young: (202) 224-5623. Senator Banks (202) 241-4814. It includes a script: Hello, Senator. This is ________. I am a constituent calling to ask you to vote NO on H.R1, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act. [State briefly how this bill would affect you]; sample text at right).
In addition to the personal impact on me, if voted into law, H.R. 1 will cause collapse of the entire healthcare system, which remains solvent through payments from Medicare and Medicaid. Healthcare is the largest field of employment in the nation. All healthcare workers will face unemployment, which will collapse the entire socioeconomic structure of the U.S.
Again, I am asking you to vote NO on HR1 to prevent a catastrophic collapse of the U.S.
Thank you.

Perhaps, because of his charisma. He is bold and knowledgeable. Personally, I prefer Pritzker, but feel like a sell-out to Pete.

questions. Why not ads on bus stops and public transit, and relevant rural sites that ask, “Do you know the difference between regressive, progressive, and flat rate taxation?”. Then list a website to which there are short modules for each question with responses, examples, and resources. If people

Yes! Progressive taxation receives too little attention. The number of people (democrats) who argue for flat tax rates across the spectrum of incomes infuriates me. By and large liberals are better educated, but I’m not sure how much meaningful that has in an educational system in which the better

The left believes we have no cult of personality. They cant see for themselves how their uncritical adulation of Kamala is just another version of MAGA, but in this case, revolving around their "need"
