Great idea: Submit an amendment for vote-a-rama!

[Qutzupalotl]

Great idea from Indivisible to gum up the works on the Big Ugly Betrayal: submit lots of citizen-submitted, difficut-to-vote-against amendments. These votes will come back to bite Republicans in the general.

We want to see as many amendments offered as possible, and we’re calling on this community to help craft some and share them with your senators! Be creative. Go wild. Just try to focus them on taxes and spending -- because that’s all that can go into a reconciliation bill.

Your amendment could be something like:

An amendment to transfer all the dollars for ICE funding to NPR and PBS, instead

An amendment to tax recipients of luxury jets gifted by foreign governments at 100% of the jet's market value

An amendment to cut every lawmaker’s salary and per diem by the same percentage SNAP gets cut

Some of your suggestions may be silly. Some may be poignant. Some will be genuinely good policy. Pretty much all of them will be better than the disaster MAGA Republicans want to force on us, so don’t be shy:

Send your proposed amendments to your Democratic senators here -- and remind them to do all they can to force as many painful votes as possible.
