Received this e-mail today from former NAACP Chairman Ben Jealous’ (D. MD) gubernatorial campaign:
After weeks of closed-door meetings with Washington lobbyists, today Senate Republicans finally released their version of Trumpcare, and it's devastating.
Instead of standing up for Maryland's most vulnerable families, Republicans have decided to put tax cuts for the rich ahead of protecting common sense priorities like Medicaid and women's healthcare.
We can’t let the GOP get away with stripping health care coverage from working Americans to give tax breaks to billionaires. Add your name, and stand with me in holding Republicans accountable.
At a time when right-wing extremists control all branches of the federal government, it's more important than ever to have bold and courageous leadership in Maryland willing to protect healthcare and stand up for our families in need.
Governor Hogan has shown time and again he's not willing to be that leader - choosing instead to bow to President Trump and Republican efforts to hold our state back.
Enough is enough. It's time we come together and stand up for our state, our families and our children.
I've spent my life as a community organizer and civil rights activist, leading and winning the big fights to make our government more accountable and responsive to the needs of everyday people.
Together we can do big things again in Maryland, and move our state forward no matter what happens in Washington.
I'm ready to stand up. Join me in saying Maryland can do better than the Republican Trump-Hogan healthcare agenda.
In power,
Ben
