The Rev Dr. Rick SchlosserDear Activists,
The Senate has just passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” and it is now racing toward a vote in the House—a vote could happen at any moment.
We need you to pick up the phone right now and call your Representative to demand they vote NO on this deeply harmful Budget Reconciliation bill. Time is critical. Every minute we wait puts more lives at risk.
If your Representative is on the fence—or worse, feeling pressure to support this bill—they need to hear from you immediately. Remind them: their vote on this bill will be remembered, and they are up for reelection in just 16 months.
This bill directly contradicts the values Christ taught us about compassion, justice, and care for the vulnerable. Urge your congregation, your family, and your community to join you in calling. Forward this email. Post it. Share it everywhere.
If you’ve already called—thank you—but we need you to CALL AGAIN. The pressure must be relentless.
Here’s why this is urgent:
- The Senate version is significantly worse than the House bill.
- House Members were told issues around Medicaid and SNAP would be fixed in the Senate. They were not.
- According to the latest CBO report:
- 17 million more people will become uninsured.
- Over $1 trillion will be cut from Medicaid alone.
- That’s even worse than the already-devastating House version, which would uninsure 16 million.
We cannot allow this to become law.
📞 Call your Representative TODAY.
📢 Ask your friends, your family, and fellow justice seekers to do the same.
You can find your Representative’s contact information on their website or at this link: Find Your Representative
Let’s flood the phones. Let them know we’re watching—and we won’t forget.
In solidarity,
The Rev. Dr. Rick Schlosser, Executive Director
