FRIDAY RECAP: NOV. 12, 2021

This week displayed the power of big money in Congress and our lives. As wildly popular as lowering drug costs is, pharmaceutical companies’ legislators are winning the fight against that in the Build Back Better legislation. Our Gollum report on disinformation was about Facebook using dangerous health information and promoting political divisiveness, all for profit, according to a whistleblower and new documents. So, you ask, why isn’t anything being done to fight for the majority of Americans? The answer is that Republicans, a minority party, used the filibuster loophole to block any action. So, who owns them? Time to act!

Today’s the day to catch up on our calls. No matter how many you made this week, commit to calling once more. 

• If you called every day, pick your favorite script and call again

• If not, use the script from a day you didn’t call

• If you’re really dedicated, use the other scripts to call this weekend

Here are the great topics from which to choose:

Nov. 9: DITCH THE FILIBUSTER LOOPHOLE

Nov. 10: BIG PHARMA IS WINNING THE FIGHT TO MAINTAIN HIGH DRUG PRICES

Nov. 11: Has The Internet Become Our Gollum?

So pick up your phone, click on your chosen link, and do your part to transform our country so it works for everyone. And keep calling until these infrastructure and voting rights bills pass Congress!
