TAKE ACTION! Tell Your Congress Person to VOTE “NO” On Budget Bill

Healthcare insurance, federal employee pensions and construction project funding are all on the chopping block

The House or Representatives will soon vote – perhaps as early as today – on President Trump’s budget bill.  In addition to $715 billion in cuts to Medicaid, it will explode the national deficit by $3.8 trillion.

Significant cuts to federal worker pensions are also being considered.

The bill also will cut over $200 billion in federally assisted construction. This will result in the elimination of well over $600 billion in construction work that is covered by Davis-Bacon prevailing wages and currently requires the use of apprentices to receive the maximum tax credit.

Please take a moment to call your member of Congress NOW by clicking here.
