Senate Republicans want to vote on their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching reconciliation bill this weekend, and that means a “vote-a-rama,” when senators can propose endless changes that their colleagues then need to vote on.
Democrats can use this as an opportunity to postpone the final vote on the bill by holding the floor and forcing Republicans to vote on amendments that put them on record supporting divisive and politically damaging policies.
We need to encourage Senate Dems to do everything in their power to fight back against this egregious bill, including by flooding their offices with amendment ideas they can use to keep vote-a-rama going as long as possible. Example amendments include:
-
An amendment to transfer all the dollars for ICE funding to NPR and PBS, instead
-
An amendment to cut every lawmaker’s salary and per diem by the same percentage SNAP gets cut
Add your amendment by replacing the CAPITALIZED section of the text below. Then, submit this form! We’ll email your Democratic Senator(s) your proposed amendment and urge them to keep fighting.
