Calling your representative?
Here’s an idea of what you can say:
Hi, I’m [Your Name], a constituent from [Your City, State, ZIP]. I’m calling to urge Representative [Last Name] to oppose any budget cuts to Medicaid and other essential programs.
Congress is considering proposals that would cut at least $880 billion from Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, and SNAP over ten years, primarily impacting Medicaid and SNAP.
These cuts would:
- Take health care away from people with disabilities.
- Limit access to therapies and community services.
- Reduce long-term care for seniors and cut pay for caregivers.
I urge Representative [Last Name] to reject these cuts and protect Medicaid and SNAP. Will they commit to opposing them?
Thank you for your time. I appreciate the Representative’s attention to this important issue.
