URGENT: 15 Hour Window to Defend Democracy, Healthcare & Our Public Lands
Democrats are currently forcing a reading of the entire 940-page "One Big Beautiful Bill" to stall this harmful legislation¹, and this gives us a crucial 12-15 hour window before the vote proceeds². But this fight is about far more than Medicaid—this is about the future of our democracy, healthcare system, and America's cherished public lands.
What's Really at Stake:
The One Big Beautiful Bill isn't just cutting Medicaid—it's the most drastic overhaul to Medicaid since the program was founded³, while simultaneously undermining Obamacare enrollment and coverage for 24 million Americans⁴. Nearly 5 million people could lose Medicaid coverage due to new work requirements alone⁵, and millions more will face higher premiums and lose healthcare subsidies⁴.
Our Public Lands Are Being Sold Off: Senator Mike Lee has added provisions requiring the "disposal" of 2-3 million acres of our public lands⁶—including popular hiking trails, ski resorts, and lands surrounding Utah's "Mighty 5" national parks⁷. These lands would be sold with no requirements for affordability, potentially becoming trophy homes, pricey vacation spots, or exclusive golf communities⁸.
Democracy Under Attack: Hidden in this 1,000-page bill are provisions that would severely harm voters and threaten the rule of law itself⁹, including restrictions on courts' ability to enforce injunctions against illegal government actions and a 10-year ban on enforcement of state and local voting rights protections⁹.
This bill would reduce federal tax revenue by $4 trillion over 10 years¹⁰, with tax cuts primarily benefiting wealthy Americans¹¹. Two-thirds of the public view this legislation unfavorably¹², and favorability drops even further when people learn about its health impacts¹².
Your representatives need to hear from you in the next 15 hours.
This isn't just about policy—it's about real people in our communities who will lose access to cancer treatments, mental health services, prescription medications, and emergency care. It's about people I love who depend on Medicaid to live with dignity and health. It's about protecting our democracy from unprecedented attacks on voting rights and judicial oversight. And it's about preserving America's public lands—our hiking trails, camping spots, and natural treasures—for future generations instead of selling them off to wealthy developers.

Subject Line: Please protect our state's families by opposing Medicaid cuts
I am writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose any legislation that would cut Medicaid funding and devastate healthcare access in our state. This program serves as a lifeline for people I love and hundreds of thousands of families across our state.
Medicaid isn't just a government program—it's essential healthcare access for our most vulnerable neighbors. In my community, I've witnessed how this program provides cancer treatments for working parents, mental health services for veterans, prescription medications for seniors, and emergency care for families facing medical crises. These aren't abstract policy discussions; they're about real people who depend on this safety net for their health and dignity.
The proposed cuts would result in our state losing tens of billions of dollars in federal funding. This funding translates directly to healthcare access for our fellow citizens. When you vote to cut this funding, you're voting to deny healthcare to some of our state's most vulnerable residents—including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families who simply cannot afford private insurance.
I understand the importance of fiscal responsibility, but I believe we can pursue responsible governance while still protecting the healthcare needs of our state's families. There must be a way to achieve policy goals without devastating the medical care that so many of our fellow citizens depend on for their survival and wellbeing.
As you consider votes on legislation affecting Medicaid, I urge you to think about the human cost. Consider the families in your district who will lose access to essential medications, the seniors who won't be able to afford nursing home care, and the children who will go without preventive healthcare. These are your constituents, and they are counting on you to represent their interests.
The people who depend on Medicaid deserve leaders who will fight for their access to healthcare. I respectfully ask that you vote to protect our state's Medicaid funding and oppose any legislation that would cut this vital program.
Your constituents' health and lives depend on it.
