Subject: tell Congress: don't extend Trump tax scam
Reply-To: Public Citizen <president@PROTECTED>

 Major parts of the Trump tax scam — the massive tax giveaway for billionaires and Big Business that his MAGA allies passed in 2017 — are set to expire at the end of this year.

Republicans are trying to jam legislation through Congress that would extend Trump’s disastrous tax policies and pay for it by gutting critical programs the American people rely on.

Here are just some of the ways Trump’s congressional lackeys could pay for their tax cuts for the ultra-rich:

• They’re considering cutting funding for Medicaid, child nutrition, and education.

• They’re considering jacking up costs for energy, housing, and food.

• And in the past, they’ve slashed budgets for youth job training programs and the National Labor Relations Board (the organization that holds corporations accountable for violating worker rights). Funding for programs like these could be in danger again.

It’s simple: Congressional Republicans are planning to make life harder for workers and families in order to extend tax cuts for their billionaire donors and greedy companies.

We can’t sit on the sidelines while Donald Trump and his allies decide what programs to dismantle to help their friends. We need to push every member of Congress to side with working families instead.

Email your members of Congress:

Don’t raise costs or cut programs like Medicaid to pay for Trump’s tax giveaways. You’re accountable to the American people, not just wealthy donors and giant corporations.

Use our easy online tool to email your representative and senators now.

Thanks for taking action.

For progress,
