Welcome!  You’re a hero for contacting your elected officials and telling them what you want them to do!  You will be holding them accountable to you and the rest of their constituents. 

 

Every month we will have a new topic.  The old ones will still be here. 

​

 

This month – Tariffs.  Here’s the background:

 

Donald Trump has imposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada, China and almost all the countries in the world. These tariffs are a hidden tax for working families, driving up prices on essential goods like food, cars, and clothing. Even Trump himself admits these taxes will hurt Americans. And the damage doesn’t stop there – countries are retaliating with their own tariffs.

 

Trump’s tariffs will disrupt supply chains, raise costs for businesses, and put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk. 

 

Instead of following the usual legal process, Trump is abusing emergency powers (IEEPA) to force these tariffs through without oversight – a power grab that bypasses Congress. No president should have the power to single-handedly disrupt the U.S. economy. We must demand that Congress step in and stop this dangerous overreach.

Here is the contact information for our elected officials.

HERE IS THE MESSAGE YOU CAN LEAVE. YOU’LL NEED TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Philadelphia, Zip Code [____].

I'm calling [REP/SEN NAME] because I’m outraged that Trump's tariffs will make food, gas, and other essentials more expensive for American families like mine. These tariffs will disrupt supply chains, raise costs for businesses, and put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk. Even Trump himself admitted these tariffs will hurt us.

I ask that [REP/SEN NAME] speak out against these tariffs and demand accountability before more damage is done.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
