Dear [Your Elected Official],

Massive spending on sweeping and unproductive enforcement of long-outdated immigration laws would harm ALL of us. Nebraskans support stability for immigrant community members and whole communities – NOT budgets that would cut health care, take food off the table, and separate local families and neighbors who are stuck in limbo because of long-outdated immigration laws.

I urge you to vote NO on the budget reconciliation bill!

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Send me occasional emails about this issue

My name is [YOUR NAME] and I live in [TOWN]. I’m calling to urge the Senator to reject the deep & cruel budget reconciliation cuts because …

Medicaid health coverage is important to Nebraskans. It keeps children, seniors, people with disabilities, pregnant people, and adults with low incomes healthy so that our communities stay healthy and our hospitals stay open.
SNAP is a lifeline - it helps over 150,000 Nebraskans put food on the table.
Nebraskans want stability for longtime neighbors and whole communities – not large expenditures on family separations and sweeping enforcement of outdated immigration laws that would harm us all.
I urge [MEMBER NAME] to oppose any and all cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, including work requirements. Instead, Nebraskans want supportive programs that keep our families and communities healthy, supported, and together - not tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.

Summary

The House of Representatives passed a budget reconciliation package that will devastate healthcare, food access, and other basic-needs programs in order to fund tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires and sweeping deportations of longtime community members. The US Senate will now consider these historically devastating cuts that are the most extensive that Congress has ever considered.  Call or email your Senators and tell them Nebraska values a healthy and supported community – not helping the wealthiest get richer. Say NO to proposed policies that would:     <ul> <li>Shift huge, unmanageable costs onto states to cover SNAP food support, risking the loss of benefits or eligibility for 150,000 Nebraskans utilizing the program. </li> <li>Implement additional SNAP work requirements on older Nebraskans up to age 64, and parents of children 7 and older, who are already struggling to keep food on the table, </li> <li>Slash Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act resulting in nearly 14 million people losing coverage.</li> <li>These proposals include attacks on Nebraska’s voter-approved Medicaid expansion, which provides 65,000 Nebraskans with life-saving health care coverage.</li> <li>These provisions also impose unnecessary work requirements that will cause up to 15,000 Nebraskans to lose their health care. </li> <li>Prioritize unprecedented spending for sweeping, unproductive, and harmful enforcement of long-outdated immigration laws – separating local neighbors and families, and destabilizing whole communities. </li> <li>Take the Child Tax Credit away from US citizen children with parents who are stuck in immigration limbo.</li> <li>Increase the Child Tax Credit for higher income families while leaving out at least 17 million of the lowest-income children. </li> </ul> Make a call or send an email!
