Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to reject legislation that would make it harder for wronged airline customers to get their refunds, and pass the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act and the Equality Act. 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.
Did we not just discuss our Department of Transportation making it easier to get refunds when your airline corporation delays or cancels your flight? Well, for Congress, no good deed goes unpunished, as two Democratic and two Republican Congressfolk have introduced legislation that would make airline passengers jump through multiple flaming hoops to request refunds, rather than force the airlines to issue those refunds automatically, as the Biden Administration rule would do. So, yeah, time to call your Congressfolk and tell them to reject this absurd idea, which of course comes from four Congressfolk who get lots of campaign donations from big airline corporations. They’ll never see it coming!
Americans for Tax Fairness helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act, which may not prevent all conceivable corporate tax dodging, but which would end tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs, bring the top tax rate back up to 35% (still lower than it should be, but better than 21%), and stop corporations from hiding their profits in places like the Cayman Islands. Any Congressperson who opposes any of these things should lose their next election, period, end of, full stop. But that won’t happen unless we speak out.
Finally, the Daily Kos Liberation League helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass the Equality Act. Your Trumphole acquaintances may have said the Equality Act is all about letting boys take over girls’ sports in schools, an argument requiring everyone to forget what being a hormone-addled teenager was like. The bill is actually about preventing banks and landlords from discriminating against gays and trans folk – and guess what? Many Trumpholes actually don’t want banks and landlords to discriminate against gays and trans folk. But, again, if we want to break above the noise, we have to speak out.
