The ad is part of a new campaign of over $5 million to put pressure on Senate Republicans as they consider the Republican Tax Scam that slashes Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Washington, D.C. — Today, Unrig Our Economy is launching a new ad urging Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) to vote against the Republican Tax Scam as part of a new nationwide campaign. This ad highlights the harmful impacts of the Republican Tax Scam, which would gut health care and take food away from tens of thousands of Mainers just to give billionaires another massive tax break.
The ad launching today calls on Sen. Collins to reject the Republican Tax Scam that would:
- Leave over 38,000 Mainers without health insurance
- Lead to Mainers paying hundreds more per month on health insurance premiums
- Cause over 50,000 additional deaths per year nationwide
“Republican Senators like Susan Collins can try to downplay the effects of this tax scam, but if she votes for this agenda, she will be putting tens of thousands of Mainers in danger,” said Unrig Our Economy spokesperson Kobie Christian. “This campaign urges Sen. Collins to oppose the Republican Tax Scam and protect Mainers’ health care from being gutted to give the richest people on the planet another tax break.”
The ad will run on broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms in Maine.
SCRIPT:
Life is getting more expensive for us Mainers by the day…
…And what’s Senator Susan Collins doing about it?
She’s considering a bill that would give big tax breaks to billionaires.
Take away health care from thousands of Mainers.
Raise our insurance costs.
And could shut down rural hospitals.
Just so billionaires can get a tax break.
They get richer.
Our costs go up.
Another way they rig the system against us…
Tell Senator Susan Collins to help working families not billionaires.
