5. Thank you, Senator Booker!

I received this email today from my senator, Dick Durbin:

This is not a drill: Senate Republicans are on the verge of passing their billionaires-first tax scam, with a vote possible as early as tonight.

This bill is a giant giveaway to the wealthy and big corporations -- and it’s all paid for by hiking taxes on seniors and the middle-class.

It’s also a backdoor attack on Obamacare. Republicans are calling this bill by a different name, but its impact on America’s health care system is nearly as bad as the repeal effort we fought so hard to block. 13 million people stand to lose health insurance if this bill passes.

We need all hands on deck immediately, Sheila. Speak out: add your name right now to oppose the GOP tax plan.

This is a bad deal for the American people. It’ll raise middle-class taxes and put health care for millions at risk -- all to give the wealthy few a tax break. That’s not who we are as a nation or what our values should be.

It’s time to light up the phones, reach out to your senators and make your voice heard.

Start by adding your name right now: tell the GOP not to pass this disastrous tax scam.

Thank you for taking action at this pivotal moment,

My best,

Dick Durbin
