Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to reject attempts to let financial advisors put themselves before their customers, reject further corporate tax cuts, and fund the Affordable Connectivity Program again. 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.
Social Security Works helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject any “resolution of disapproval” aiming to repeal the Biden Administration’s fiduciary responsibility rule. You know, the rule that says financial advisors have to put their customers first? That’s the rule Republicans want to repeal! So financial advisors can put themselves first! Very “moral values” of them! I probably haven’t said enough that the Republicans’ legislative push is objectively anti-senior, since seniors (and their pension funds!) use financial advisors a lot. Brook no nonsense about TEH NANNY STATEZ!!!! If financial advisors act like babies, we treat them like babies.
Civic Shout helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject any further corporate tax cuts Republicans propose. Yes, the Trump campaign has proposed even more corporate tax cuts, and Republicans march in jackboot lockstep with his agenda, hence we must face down this danger. Brook no nonsense about how if we let corporations keep more of their money, they’ll invest more in infrastructure and workers I couldn’t even get to the end of that without laughing! Because that argument is the precise opposite of how it actually works – you make corporations invest in people and processes by raising corporate taxes, because spent money isn’t profit and thus can’t be taxed.
Finally, the Juggernaut Project helps you tell your Congressfolk to restore funding for our FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program, which Congress let lapse earlier this month. I guess Congress is objectively anti-education and objectively anti-work with that move, because what did we learn during the pandemic? We learned that people need affordable internet access in order to do their jobs and go to school. What else did we learn? That we’d be better off having internet as a public utility (like Chattanooga does!) than as a service for which the private sector charges ever-more usurious prices. But while we’re working on that, we need to help working families afford what we’ve got.
