Long story short: tell our government to keep medical debt out of credit reports, protect wetlands in accordance with federal law, and investigate FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr’s role in Project 2025. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
More Perfect Union helps you tell our Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (or CFPB) to ban credit reporting corporations from including medical debt in their reports. You know how collection agencies call your job sometimes looking for a co-worker? And you know how, while most folks won’t enable collection agencies, sometimes one co-worker will, and justify it by saying you need to pay your bills? Folks don’t get medical debt because they’re lazy – they get it because they need health care and then their insurer screws them over, usually at the behest of some bankster. So that’s one more reason not to judge people, and also one more reason to tell our government to protect us from predators.
The Center for Biological Diversity helps you tell our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect wetlands as our Endangered Species Act requires. As CBD reminds us, “not all endangered wetland species have designated critical habitat, even though the Endangered Species Act requires it.” I mean, how can our laws protect endangered species if they have nowhere to live? That’s basic common sense, and the only force aligned against basic common sense here is greed, whether it manifests as “drill, baby, drill” or “we need stuff” or “let’s take a light touch to regulation” – or even “do you want the economy to fail?” Surely we’re not so weak a country that we must choose between protecting endangered animals and stimulating our economy.
Finally, Civic Shout helps you tell our FCC Inspector General to investigate FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr’s role in writing an entire chapter of the notorious Heritage Foundation document known as “Project 2025.” You know, the project Donald Trump has “disavowed” even though virtually everyone who worked on it also worked for him, and the document mentions him hundreds of times? The one that would cripple our government’s ability to provide the services we pay for with our taxes, and deliver that tax money to right-wing crony corporations? Anyway, Mr. Carr’s job, as a public servant, is to separate his public duties from his political activities; if he’s failed to do that, he may have broken the law, and should pay the price.
