Action alert from Indivisible –
This week, behind closed doors in Washington DC, House Republicans are meeting in private to decide how many millions of Americans they’ll kick off Medicaid — all to fund tax cuts that make billionaires even richer.
Your representative, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, is on a key committee [Energy and Commerce] that decides how many billions of dollars the GOP reconciliation plan steals from Medicaid. Please call Rep. Miller-Meeks right now to tell her HANDS OFF our Medicaid!

Here’s what you need to know about where things stand in DC:
To offset Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires, congressional Republicans need to decide exactly how much funding they’ll cut from popular programs. They’ll comb through thousands of line items, making trillions of dollars in budget cuts, all with one unifying factor: Everyday people get screwed.
The Republicans know that those cuts are extremely unpopular, so they’re breaking into their committees and huddling in small, closed-door meetings — no Democrats allowed — to write the bill where nobody can read it until the last moment.
Of those committees, the Energy and Commerce Committee is the one tasked with cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid. Rep. Miller-Meeks is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, so when the GOP plan to decimate Medicaid drops, her fingerprints will be all over it.
We can’t let House Republicans work in private to strip millions of Americans of their health coverage, so we need you and other folks in your area to hold your representative accountable.
If you can’t get through on the phone during business hours (or even after you make the call), you can also send your representative an email in just a few clicks.
House Republicans believe they can dodge their constituents and evade responsibility as they rob working people. Your calls and emails are crucial to holding them accountable and winning the fight against Trump’s merciless reconciliation plan.
Thank you,
Indivisible Team

“17,000-plud family-owned farmers would have their death tax exemption slashed in half.” That’s a direct quote from the Miller-Meeks tax-break op-ed that appeared in the DES MOINES REGISTER on 4/27, and it, along with the rest of the horribly-written op-ed, is a real tribute to the level of thinking that Miller-Meeks has put into this issue.
