Your GOP representative is leading the charge to gut SNAP food assistance. Call him now. Michelle,
Next week, behind closed doors in Washington DC, House Republicans will quietly meet to decide how many American families and senior citizens they’ll kick off SNAP food assistance -- all to fund tax breaks that make billionaires even richer.
Your representative, Jim Baird*, is on a key committee that decides how many billions of dollars the GOP reconciliation plan steals from SNAP. We need you to call Rep. Baird and ask: How many kids and seniors will you let go hungry so that men like Elon Musk can get even richer?
Here's what you need to know about how things are going 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 splitting into committees and huddling in small, closed-door meetings -- often with no Democrats allowed -- to write the bill where nobody can read it until the last moment.
- The Agriculture Committee, specifically, is tasked with cutting billions of dollars from SNAP: a beloved program that helps seniors and low-income parents buy food. Rep. Baird is on the Agriculture Committee, so when the GOP unveils a plan to take food assistance from millions of families, his fingerprints will be all over it.
We can’t let House Republicans work in private to take food off millions of tables, so we need you and other folks in your area to hold your representative accountable.
Click here to call your representative, Jim Baird, and get him on the record about kicking his constituents off SNAP and making kids go hungry! Then, ask two other people in your area to do the same.
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
