OBBBA Bill Shall Not Pass - Part 2

6/9/2025

0 Comments

 
The Senate Democrats Can Still Stop OBBBA (aka the Socioeconomic Genocidal Budget), But They Need to Act Now!

At the end of May, Senate Republicans broke precedent and used the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to revoke California’s right to set pollution standards — even after the Senate parliamentarian said it didn’t qualify.

What does that mean? It means they nuked the rulebook — and handed Democrats a powerful procedural weapon by starting a new precedent: redefining anything as a rule subject to the CRA.

Now, Democrats can use that same tool to flood the Senate floor with hundreds of CRA resolution votes on past agency actions. This would grind everything to a halt - including the final vote on Trump’s extremist One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) budget.

This buys us time. This doesn't stop OBBBA forever, but it may extend the debate past July 4th, the GOP target, which is close to the 180 day timeline Project 2025 originally aimed to implement its core government restructuring.

OBBBA creates the largest wealthy transfer from the bottom 10% to the top 10% in history. It slashes food aid, healthcare, housing, and green energy to fund the tax cut. It bans regulations that protect children from AI, strips courts of their power to enforce rulings, and consolidates even more control in the executive branch.

It essentially changes the shape of our government.

But if Democrats jam the Senate floor using the CRA loophole Republicans just opened, they can buy the country time:

➡️ Time for public outrage to grow
➡️ Time for the media to finally connect the dots
➡️ Time for states to file lawsuits
➡️ Time to stop this train before it locks in a corporate-run AI surveilled techno-feudalistic dictatorship

Spread the word. Call your Senators. Demand they use every tool we have.
We won’t get another shot.

This bill if passed as is, could be the end of democracy as we know it.

"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling/writing to urge the Senator to use every available tool — including the Congressional Review Act — to block the One Big Beautiful Budget Act. This bill slashes basic support for families while handing more power to the executive branch.

The GOP broke precedent by ignoring the Senate parliamentarian and using the CRA to revoke a longstanding environmental waiver that wasn’t even a rule. Now Democrats must use that same precedent to defend democracy. Please act now. We’re counting on you."

Subject: Urgent: Use Every Tool to Stop the OBBBA and Defend Democracy

Dear Senator [Last Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I’m writing to urge you to use every available tool -including the Congressional Review Act (CRA) - to block the One Big Beautiful Budget Act (OBBBA).

This bill is not a legitimate budget. It slashes essential support for working families — including Medicaid, SNAP, and education — while consolidating power into the Executive Branch and gutting congressional oversight. It even strips federal judges of the power to enforce their own rulings and bans states from regulating AI, leaving children vulnerable to exploitation.

The GOP has already broken precedent by misusing the CRA to revoke a decades-old environmental waiver that wasn’t even a formal rule, ignoring the Senate parliamentarian to do so. If that’s the new precedent, then Democrats must be equally willing to act with urgency and courage to protect the rule of law and democratic norms.

Please do everything in your power to stop this bill from becoming law. We are counting on you to act decisively to defend our democracy.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
