TIMELY REQUESTS
 
We are pressing strongly ahead on repealing as much of Obamacare as possible and relieving millions of Americans from the burdens of that onerous law.   As soon as this coming Tuesday the 25th, Congress could move to proceed to the House-passed healthcare bill and replace it with the text of the 2015/2016 Obamacare repeal reconciliation bill, which Congress passed but President Obama vetoed.  If you have not already done so (…and thank you to those who have!), we’d be grateful if you could publicly support the motion to proceed (MTP) to the healthcare bill in the Senate—as well as support the 2015 bill itself.   See more above.  As Vice President Pence said this week, “Inaction is not an option.”
 
Please publicly push for tax reform that is simpler and fairer, that provides middle-class tax relief, and that spurs robust economic growth and job creation.
