Calling Congress

Robert Reich encourages all Americans to call on Congress to reject the (so-called) “big beautiful bill”: 202-224-3121.

In my congressional district (IL-15), a considerable percentage of the population relies on Medicaid or CHIP. Cuts to those services would be cruelly disastrous. I called this morning and told the answering machine (it’s always an answering machine) to stand with and for its constituents and oppose this bill.

You can see the effect of proposed cuts on your district at The Center for American Progress.

So far when I have called my Congressional rep (Betty McCollum), I've always gotten an actual person on the phone. Amazing, I know!

I did get someone at one of Mary Miller's district offices, but I suspect the machine is on for a reason in DC. Comments on her FB pages (which I can see without an account) make me think that she's deluged with negative calls there.
