Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to stop our President-elect from convening a military review board designed to make our military loyal to him rather than the American people, tell your Senators to pass the PRESS Act, and tell your Congressfolk to fully fund our IRS so we can keep catching rich tax cheats. 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.
With news that our President-elect plans to convene a "review" board supposedly to remove generals who "lack leadership" but which we all know means "aren't loyal to President Bigbaby," now's the time to call your Reps and Senators and tell them to oppose this vigorously, because Presidents who want to make everyone take loyalty tests should be stopped. Furthermore, he could create a military who'd bless an unconstitutional third Presidential term, and we had better err on the side of caution where that's concerned. Strangle this baby in its crib, before President Bigbaby gets his way.
Defending Rights and Dissent helps you tell our Senators to pass the Protect Reporters from Exploitive State Spying (or PRESS) Act, which would prevent our government from forcing journalists to hand over the identities of their sources (except when our government can prove it's necessary to stop an imminent attack). Because usually our government demands sources just to harass journalists and sources! And surely we don't think our government will do less of that under President Bigbaby! Our Senate must pass this bill, not least because our House, in a fit of actual bipartisanship, has already passed it! You never see actual bipartisanship anymore, especially for good! So let's grab that while we can.
Finally, Americans for Tax Fairness helps you tell your Congressfolk to ensure they fund our IRS to it can continue to catch rich tax cheats. Because we need to spend money to do that, since rich tax cheats will spend big money on lawyers! But for every dollar we spend on enforcement, we get six dollars back – to the tune of over $1.3 billion in back taxes just since last fall. And not just that! Average phone wait times are down from 28 minutes to 3 minutes and our IRS now handles 65% more phone calls than it did before; doesn't customer service mean something to conservatives? I kid, of course – there are no conservatives in the Republican Party anymore.
