Got this in email a couple of days ago. I thought I would try to help them gather some data. If you do not get Progress Iowa’s newsletter, they are requesting stories to help put a human face on Republican cruelty. Links are in the letter:
| As Open Enrollment begins on November 1, millions of families are bracing for their health insurance premiums to rise, or even double, because Republicans refused to act.
Iowa’s representatives had no problem giving huge tax breaks to billionaires this year, but when it came time to extend ACA tax credits for everyday Iowans, Rep. Miller-Meeks shared that this was an “unreasonable demand.” That’s why we’re reaching out and asking you or someone you know to share your stories. Our representatives have chosen billionaires over constituents and are banking on your silence. But we’re not going to let them get away with this. Progress Iowa will then help your story be heard. We can connect you with reporters, share your experience on social media, or both. It’s up to you. *Nothing will be published without following up with you first, so please include your contact information.* Whether you’re a parent, a small business owner, or someone just trying to stay healthy, you shouldn’t have to choose between your health and your budget — especially not because of Republican inaction and their ongoing shutdown. Thanks for reading and for joining us to hold our lawmakers accountable. – The Progress Iowa Team |
