Tell your Democratic members of Congress to hold the line on budget demands and impeach Hegseth

Adapted from Jessica Craven at Chop Wood Carry Water 9/30

Call or email both Senators and your House rep - write your own script or use these:

First, I want Democrats to hold the line until ACA tax credits are extended and there are written guarantees that Trump will allow appropriated funds to be spent. Regardless of party, ALL Senators should be fighting for this.

Second, I’m outraged by Secretary Hegseth’s dangerous speech, where he openly encouraged our military to commit war crimes, even on US soil against US citizens. Demanding our military blindly follow political and illegal orders is grossly authoritarian and puts our national security and individual freedom at risk. I ask the[Senator/Congressmember] to immediately move to impeach him as Secretary.

From the people who brought you Deepwater Horizon

From Joe Katz at Rogan's List 9/29 and Earth Justice

Fifteen years after the Deepwater Horizon spill, BP (British Petroleum) is asking the federal government to approve a new, massive offshore drilling project in the Gulf. The Kaskida project would be BP’s first completely new oilfield in the Gulf since the catastrophe, and will require drilling at greater depths where conditions are so extreme that the project would require still-emerging technology to withstand the extraordinary pressure and heat.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) office in the Gulf is now weighing whether to approve BP’s new proposal. Earthjustice is asking us to help demonstrate strong public opposition to another drilling project that risks harm to Gulf communities. Follow this link to send a pre-scripted letter (that you can edit) to the BOEM regional director and help make our voices heard: https://earthjustice.org/action/stop-this-ultra-deepwater-drilling-project-in-the-gulf-of-mexico.
