It’s Raul.

Last week, Senate Republicans sneaked a disturbing provision into the bill that reopened our government. (I already opposed that bill because it made no changes to the Trump/Republican destruction of Medicaid and Obamacare, but this provision made it even worse!)

Here’s what it does: 8 Republican Senators are now able to claim at least half a million dollars each in taxpayer money for having been investigated as part of the January 6th insurrection.

This is a Republican tax-funded cash grab that rewards corruption — and it’s happening in real time.

I’m gathering 5,000 signatures to demand Republicans remove these corrupt kickbacks NOW. >>

When Donald Trump demanded $230 million from the Department of Justice as personal retribution for the investigation into his own crimes, Republicans didn’t say a word.

And even as Americans were suffering from the impacts of the government shutdown, Republicans refused to negotiate for affordable healthcare.

Now, as hard-working Americans who struggled through weeks of uncertainty are about to lose their healthcare over skyrocketing premiums, Republicans plan to funnel millions of dollars into the bank accounts of 8 Senators who were investigated for treason.

There is no justification for this — this is the behavior of tyrants, not leaders in the White House.

I’m not backing down from this fight, and I need to know you’re with me. Will you sign on to join me in demanding Republicans remove these corrupt kickbacks?

In the fight with you,

Raul Ruiz
