There's still time...

We still have time to let our representatives know how horrible this bill is. It’s not too late to stop this bill. Go to TrumpTaxToolkit.org to hold key senators accountable, and let them know that you do not support any bill that enables tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations. Use your voice, and contact your senators using TrumpTaxToolkit.org.

he said when calling representatives, make it quick and to the point. He said they get tons of messages that are minutes long.

So calling is important to voice your yes or no to the vote but your reasons don’t really matter to them. At least that what I got from him saying this.

for phone calls.

But be sure to send emails, too, and therein you can expound a bit. Personally, I told mine that I was getting tired of writing every week, begging them not to kill me.

but I did have the chance to say, "I am begging you not to do this. It will bankrupt my 83 year old parents, myself and makes our healthcare unaffordable and we will all die due to this". I was practically in tears since it is true.
I will keep calling...
