Mitch McConnell is a modern day Mr. Scrooge. His legacy will be starving American families during the coronavirus pandemic — THAT is all he will be remembered for.
McConnell repeatedly shoots down coronavirus stimulus plans, refusing to even put them to a vote.
Not a single Republican Senator spoke up for working Americans — not David Perdue and certainly not Kelly Loeffler.
Question: Did our Founding Fathers imagine that one Senator from Kentucky would prevent lifesaving legislation for all Americans from being passed?
Republicans slight majority in the Senate have prevented Americans from receiving coronavirus stimulus relief.
People cannot stay safe in their homes if they are being evicted.
People cannot receive nebulizer treatments for respiratory distress if their electricity is off.
People cannot stay healthy without access to food, medicine and shelter.
McConnell has now turned his attention to gutting Americans’ civil rights protections, including the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
Seven Months Of Nothing
The U.S. House passed the largest relief package in U.S. history called the Heroes Act on May 16 of this year.
McConnell and Republicans like David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler refused to even vote on stimulus relief seven months ago.
Heroes Act package would have allotted money for your family:
Up to $6000 per household to Americans
Additional funding for state and local government
Hazard pay for essential workers
Funds for the U.S. Postal Service
$10 billion in assistance to small businesses who haven’t received money yet from the Paycheck Protection Program
Funds to honor heroes of this pandemic
Coronavirus testing and contact tracing
These details are according to the fact sheet released by the House Appropriations Committee.
McConnell’s Pet Priorities
McConnell has stated repeatedly that his priority is to protect big businesses from lawsuits in his push back against the Heroes Act. McConnell called the Heroes Act “a big laundry list of pet priorities.”
McConnell’s pet priority is making sure the rich get richer by putting corporations above human lives — our children’s lives.
Coronavirus Testing Costs Around $300
Trump bragged about purposely withholding Coronavirus Test Kits from Americans during his Tulsa Rally to artificially lower the number of cases.
Why isn’t anyone talking about the fact that many Americans have lost their jobs and subsequently their health insurance?
Many are being forced to choose between being tested for coronavirus — which is up to $300 per test — and feeding their families.
Where are the free test kits we were promised?
We Are NOT All In This Together
Anyone who says that we are all in this together needs to take a seat.
Some Americans are suffering far more than others — especially minorities, women and children.
Where are the millionaires and billionaires? If there was ever a moment to speak up and step up, this is it. Your silence is deafening!
Georgians, Our Lives Rest In Your Hands
McConnell has proved over and over that he is an out of touch 78-year-old millionaire who spends most of his time in Washington. He must be removed as Senate Majority Leader.
The ONLY way to remove McConnell is to flip BOTH Georgia Senate seats.
Georgians, please vote for Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock. Our lives literally rest in your hands.
Leaders Playing Politics With Your Family’s Life
It’s shocking that America’s leaders have done nothing to help working folks for seven months. Seven months!!
We are all sick of the finger pointing. We are sick of the excuses. We are sick and dying by the hundreds of thousands.
Leaders have pointed fingers and played party politics with our families’ ability to survive.
Trump’s Only Focus Is Himself
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is only focused on himself.
There is not a single mention for regular folks in his Twitter feed. He is completely devoid of compassion.
He doesn’t care about us. He never did.
Canadian Leaders Provided $2000 Monthly
Meanwhile, Canadians received $2000 a month in coronavirus assistance and have FREE access to test kits.
Their leaders didn’t point fingers and play politics with their people’s lives.
Demand Stimulus Relief
If you are tired of seeing your leaders play politics while your family is worried about being evicted or buying groceries, act today.
Call your Senator at the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 then simply tell the operator to transfer you to your Senator. Leave a voicemail and demand stimulus relief.
Take action for your yourselves. Take action for your fellow Americans.
