Tell Gov. Brown to tell Trump we want to see his tax returns and sign SB-149

Hello, my name is _____ and I am from ____________. I am also a member of IndivisibleYolo.

I strongly urge Gov. Brown to sign SB-149, Presidential primary elections: ballot access, into law.

I am appalled that we currently have president who simply refused to follow the bipartisan tradition of transparency of showing his tax returns before the election. Who knows what conflicts of interest and other things he is trying to hide.

California has a strong voice with more than 10% of the electoral votes. Trump will never get his hands on those but will he go as far as not even get his name on the ballot to keep his secrets? Let’s find out!

The bill has to be signed before Oct. 15, when can I count on Gov. Brown to sign this bill into law?

 

Tell Gov. Brown to expose dark money in politics and sign AB249 into law

Hello, my name is _____ and I am from ____________. I am also a member of IndivisibleYolo.

I urge Gov. Brown to sign AB-249, *Political Reform Act of 1974: campaign disclosures*, into law.

Voters deserve to know who is behind the political messages that are being brought to them. Currently donors are hiding behind the names of obscure committees with feel-good names, we want to know who the ACTUAL top donors are.

Our legislators has finally shown courage and passed this bill despite the resistance of their donors. I hope Gov. Brown will do the same.

The bill has to be signed before Oct. 15, when can I count on Gov. Brown to sign this bill into law?

I am calling to thank Senator Feinstein for taking action in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting and proposing a ban on bump fire stocks. This is a very small step but any step in the right direction is worth taking.

Urge both senators to oppose the “Make-the-Rich-Richer Tax Cuts” proposed by Trump and the Republican Party

My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of IndivisibleYolo.
​
I strongly oppose the “Make-the-Rich-Richer Tax Cuts” proposed by Trump and the Republican Party. I am calling to urge Sen. Feinstein to oppose the House passed Budget bill that clears the way for approval of tax cuts for the wealthy with only a simple majority vote in the senate. Fair changes to the tax code can only be achieved through regular order in the Senate, a process that involves both parties and requires a 60-vote majority.

​I urge you to:

1. Oppose any changes to the tax code until Trump releases his tax returns.
2. Oppose the Budget bill that prohibits a senate filibuster on tax cut legislation.
3. Oppose any Budget or tax cut bills that have not be fully and fairly analyzed and scored by the CBO.
4. Oppose any new tax cuts or loopholes for wealthy individuals or Fortune-500 corporations.

He should not delay action on this very important public health matter.
