6,234 lobbyists worked on the Tax Scam

in DC this year. That means 11 lobbyists for every member of Congress. No wonder this shitty bill was pushed through in record time and in secret.

"Repeal the Tax Bill" plan and petition.

The organizers have a petition to sign and are planning marches for April (tax season).
That’s right: Republicans are sending the most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history to President Trump’s desk for his signature. (The House will likely have a final confirmation vote today, but this is essentially a done deal.)

They ignored the hundreds of rallies, millions of calls, and countless emails, tweets, and polls showing just how much the American people hated this bill -- which only had a 26% nationwide approval rating.

Over and over this year, Republicans in Congress -- supported by Donald Trump and backed by their rich donors -- have voted to betray working families in their own states and districts.

We won’t let them get away with it -- we’ve come too far and too much is on the line.

If you’re angry, too -- add your name RIGHT NOW to say the TrumpTax MUST GO.

As disgusted as I am at Republicans right now, I’m also thankful and humbled today by the support of hundreds of thousands of folks like you who’ve made their voices heard. Many DC insiders thought Trump would get his wish for tax breaks for himself and his rich cronies MONTHS ago without anyone paying much attention, but you turned this into a FIGHT.

And we’re not stopping now -- we need you to keep up the pressure and make it clear to members of Congress who voted the wrong way that we will not forget.

That starts right now -- add your name to say Congress should repeal the TrumpTax:

Thanks so much for staying in the fight -- more soon.

Executive Director, Tax March

P.S. We’ll be hitting the road early next year on a nationwide Repeal the TrumpTax tour that will culminate with hundreds of events across the country on April 15th. Stay tuned for more details.

There are now over 400 events ready if Mueller is fired!

When I signed up several weeks ago there were about 100. This story was covered on three MSNBC shows tonight. If you haven't gotten any info here is the link. "No One is Above the Law". RESIST!

When/if Mueller is fired be ready to RESIST ASAP!

Planned events across the country in hundreds of cities have prepared for this. If the fucking moron does fire Mueller many people say that it will provably happen over Winter Recess. However, we are ready to be out in the streets at a moment's notice. I made 4 signs today (be prepared) since some friends and my sister signed up a few weeks ago and I am their contact person. Check out this link and see if your city has a planned location.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
