Re: Sign and send the petition: SAY NO to big business lobbyists defending Trump tax cuts

Friend, great news! The historic Build Back Better Act is on its way through [all the necessary]( U.S. House committees—and top priorities like climate change and a [path to citizenship]( are still in the bill. But it still needs to pass the full House—and the Senate—while corporate lobbyists are doing their damndest to protect their precious Trump tax cuts. The battle is not over, not by a long shot. [Sign and send the petition to your House & Senate Democrats: Say NO to big business lobbyists. The rich and corporations must pay their fair share for the Build Back Better Act that fights climate change, cuts child poverty, expands health care, and more.]( [Sign and send the petition]( As [CNN reported](, the Build Back Better Act may be our "last hope of achieving meaningful climate action as the crisis worsens." That's because, after years of inaction at the federal level, it represents decades of climate policy all in a single bill. The same can be said about what the bill does to expand health care, elder care and pass meaningful immigration reform. But standing in the way is a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by ExxonMobile, Pfizer, Disney, Walmart, and many others—who can't stand the prospect of losing their Trump tax cuts. They don't want the rich and corporations to pay for this plan in taxes, but they must. As New York Times columnist [Paul Krugman wrote](: "corporate America is lobbying for climate disaster." We need to remind Democrats in Congress that they work for us—not them. [Sign and send the petition to your House and Senate Democrats: JUST SAY NO to big business lobbyists. The historic Build Back Better Act requires that we tax the rich.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Keep fighting, Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos P.S. Here is an earlier email we sent you about this last week. --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign and send the petition to your members of Congress: JUST SAY NO to big business lobbyists defending Trump tax cuts.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Congress is rushing towards an urgent deadline to finalize the Build Back Better Act—a [historic measure]( to expand our social safety net unseen since the New Deal or Great Society. But big business lobbyists are hell-bent on weakening the bill behind closed doors. A virtual who's who of the largest corporations—ExxonMobil, Pfizer, Walmart, Apple and others—have set up a [massive lobbying blitz]( to pressure House and Senate Democrats to water it down. That's because the Build Back Better Act would undo the Trump tax cuts that gave these big corporations a huge windfall, and devastated our treasury. And with trillions of dollars at stake, these corporations will stop at nothing to defend their bottom line. [Sign and send the petition to your members of Congress: You represent me—not the big business lobbyists. Time to reverse the Trump tax cuts.]( [Sign and send the petition]( The Build Back Better Act would aggressively fight climate change, expand health care access, offer free pre-school and community college, give child care and elder care workers a living wage, and create a path to citizenship. All of this costs money, but we can pay for it by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share. House and Senate Democrats must stand firm and say "no" to these big business lobbyists. They have massively benefited from these tax breaks for way too long, and it is time for our government to start serving the people.
