The Ol’ Pussy Grabber just announced that he is canceling all talks on the #COVID19 stimulus bill until after the election and only if he’s reelected!

Only if he’s reelected. ONLY. IF. HE’S. REELECTED. That’s the tactic of an abuser. It is blackmail.

“I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon.

Trump abruptly scraps stimulus talks, punting on economic relief until after Election Day

It is imperative that we all call OUR members of Congress and tell them that this is absolutely unacceptable. Individuals need the relief that the bill would provide. Local and state governments need the relief the bill would provide. Big and small businesses need the relief that the bill would provide. Our economy needs the relief that the bill would provide. We ALL need the relief that the bill would provide.

The pandemic needs the testing and contact tracing that the bill would provide . We need the PPE and medical equipment the bill would provide. We need medications and therapeutics that the bill would provide.

Blue states need the relief that the bill would provide. Red states need the relief that the bill would provide. It is not political. The American people need the relief that the bill would provide.

Alternatives to Calling Your MoC

The single most effective way to influence your MoC is to call them. They really do tally the numbers on issues… when they don’t allow their voicemail to fill to capacity, which is a strategy that too many use to ignore the wishes of their constituents. So, here’s the list of ways you can contact your MoC:

1. SNAIL MAIL: Organizations like Five Calls and Indivisible often provide postcard messages to be used in mailing campaigns. And, it is considered second to calling as the best method of contact.
2. VISITING YOUR MOC’s OFFICE: Indivisible groups and other citizen groups have organized visits to MOC offices to drop off messages and garner publicity for a cause. It’s a good reason to join an Indivisible group near you.
3. EMAIL: Email is largely ignored, but not always. I’ve heard from readers about exchanging emails with staffers and the MOC. It happens. But, the article says largely ignored.
4. FAX: You could kick it old school and send a fax! Remember them? “…[S]ome staffers say… it feels ‘weird’ to receive a fax.”
5. SOCIAL MEDIA: Many MoC’s have social media accounts on the various platforms. You can tag their handles on a message or social media directly at them. No guarantee that it will be seen, though.
