One Big Beautiful Bill Act

I wrote Senators Grassley and Ernst to advocate for their NO vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The legislation is expected to come up for a vote in the U.S. Senate today. Here’s what I messaged them:

I’ll be brief. I’ve been following the reconciliation bill’s progress in the U.S. Senate and nothing that has changed in the bill to change my mind that it should be rejected out of hand. Two main reasons: The Congressional Budget Office now indicates the bill would increase the federal debt by more than $3.3 trillion over the next ten years. Changes to Medicaid would result in millions of people losing their health care because of withdrawal of federal financial support. Neither of these outcomes is wanted. Vote NO on The One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Thank you for considering my message.
