where Republicans can only afford to lose three votes

It barely squeaked by with a single-vote margin the first time, and it’s only gotten more divisive since:
The so-called deficit hawks are fuming about the $3 trillion this adds to the debt.
Vulnerable “moderates” understand that ripping health insurance away from 17 million people and kicking 11.8 million more off SNAP in order to shovel $4.5 trillion to the ultra-rich might not be a winning message back home.

Too many links to type.
In short, advice whether you live in a red or blue state.

Please visit the site above for links. Here's the text version:

If You Live in a Republican House Target District

Folks in AZ-01, AZ-06, CA-22, CA-40, CO-03, CO-05, CO-08, MI-02, MI-05, MI-07, MI-09, NE-02, NJ-02, NJ-07, NV-02, NY-01, NY-02, NY-11, NY-17, OH-14, PA-01, PA-07, PA-08, PA-09, VA-01, VA-02

📣 Get a group of friends and neighbors together and plan a District Office Visit for as soon as possible. There’s no getting around it: in-person action is more impactful than phone calls and emails. That means it’s time to show up on your home turf and tell your Republican representative to vote no. Here’s a toolkit to get started and a Mobilize link to register your event so others can find it and attend with you! The sooner the better -- and don’t overthink it!

📞 Flood the phones. Tell your representative that a vote for this bill is a vote to destroy lives -- and you’ll remember it. Once you make the call (no, but really, you need to make the call because they’re more impactful than emails), send an email to drive home the point.

🧑‍💻 Help spread the word about what’s in this bill using our social toolkit. When people know what’s in the bill, they overwhelmingly oppose it -- but a lot of people still aren’t aware of the details. You can help change that.

🚪 Then, knock on 5 of your neighbors' doors and ask them to call. When you sign up, we’ll send you the addresses for five like-minded neighbors near you, a sample script, and flyers to leave behind so they can take action to fight back against the Republican tax scam.

If You Don’t Live in a Republican District

📞 Call folks whose GOP representatives are flippable. If you can spare 1-2 hours for the fight, join a phonebank to call people in vulnerable Republican districts, sound the alarm about this bill, and patch them through to let their GOP representative have it. Anyone can join a phonebank; you just need a phone and a computer.

💪 Fight back with friends. We’re stronger together, so encourage your friends and family to take action to stop the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Sign up and get access to Empower, an app that has everything you need to text your circle about the Republican tax scam: ready-to-use scripts and messages with links they can use to call their own Members of Congress.

🧑 💻 Help spread the word about what’s in this bill using our social toolkit. When people know what’s in the bill, they overwhelmingly oppose it -- but a lot of people still aren’t aware of the details. You can help change that.

📤 Forward this email. link. Think your friends in swing districts already know? Don’t risk it. Hit forward.

It takes 5 minutes, that's all!!! I have done this a lot and you feel very good afterwards. I am very passionate so I need to stay calm when I speak with the staffers. Sometimes you may need to leave a passionate message if no one answers the phones.
