Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to reject efforts to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits, overturn the Citizens United decision, and end frivolous investigations. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Today’s as good a day as any to call your Reps and Senators and tell them not to cut Medicare or Social Security benefits. (I say “benefits” because people like Rick Scott pretend that cutting costs, as Medicare drug price negotiation would do, is the same as cutting benefits.) Don’t believe the hype that “Republicans don’t want to cut Social Security and Medicare,” because of course they do, and remember: they don’t need 218 votes to cut Social Security and Medicare, they only need five votes, since that’s the number of Republicans who can prevent a bill from getting to the 218 votes it'd need to pass our House. But if we communicate our will in force, we can prevent this catastrophe.
Daily Kos helps you tell your Congressfolk to overturn our Supreme Court’s notorious Citizens United decision now. How much money did campaigns spend during the 2022 elections? Nearly $17 billion! Can you think of better things to do with $17 billion than run stupid ads trying to get clowns elected to offices they don’t deserve? Yes, you can – and so can the CEOs spending the money, if they’d abandon their stock market über alles paradigm and return to helping us create an economy that’s a little more grounded in reality. Actually restricting the ability of the rich to spend billions of dollars so frivolously will help us get to that economy.
Finally, Daily Kos also helps you tell your Congressfolk to stop conducting stupid “investigations.” Folks may say that since the people elected Reps who somehow think our government has “weaponized” against “conservatives,” that those Reps have the right to conduct investigations as they please, but that’d only be true in a nation where your will only counts on Election Day. Does your will only count on Election Day? No, it counts every day, and our Congressfolk are supposed to do our will every day, so you can tell your Congressfolk what to do every day. And if that results in less self-pitying whining from right-wingers, all the better.
