Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121
I am a constituent from ______, Montana. I'm calling to urge Congressman Gianforte/ Senator Tester/Senator Daines to oppose President Trump's June 20 proposal to privatize the US Postal Service. I ask the Congressman/Senator to convey his opposition of postal privatization to the President. The President's proposal undermines the credibility of his own Task Force on the Postal System, which is due to finalize its recommendations by August 10. Postal privatization would destroy universal mail service, raise postage rates and gut essential services to rural America and other postal reliant communities. If the Congressman has any questions, please have him/her call me back. My phone number is ___________. Thanks very much for your time.

If you are in a place where you are contemplating suicide, please reach out. There are people who love you. I love you. Call a hotline. Call your minister. Call a friend. I know it's hard. And I know that the folks suffering the worst from depression are the least likely to be able to do this. Please try, even if it takes all the strength you have. If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (En Español: 1-888-628-9454; Deaf and Hard of Hearing: 1-800-799-4889) or the Crisis Text Line by texting 741741.
In May 2012, all eyes were on Kansas as its former governor, Republican Sam Brownback, signed into law “the nation’s most aggressive experiment in conservative economic policy,” as Russell Berman wrote in The Atlantic. Kansas Senate Bill HB 2117 was one of the largest income tax cuts in the state’s history, entirely eliminating income taxes for the owners of nearly 200,000 pass-through businesses and decreasing taxes by 25% for the highest income rates. Brownback compared his fiscal policies with Reaganomics and promised a “prosperous future” for Kansas. He argued the cuts would pay for themselves by creating jobs and boosting the state’s economy.
