WRITE/CALL OUR REPRESENTATIVES -
US Senate
Please take the time this week to call Senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted.
Senator Bernie Moreno - 202-224-2315, 614-469-2083- Columbus, OH
Senator Jon Husted - 202-224-3353, 614-369-4925 - Columbus, OH
Fight Hunger and Defend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
SNAP, also referred to as food stamps, is the nation’s biggest food assistance program, serving 42 million Americans each month, two thirds of whom are in households with children. The House-approved budget reconciliation bill, H.R. 1, finances tax cuts for the ultra-rich by slashing funding for essential social safety net programs, including $290 billion in SNAP funding, a 30% cut to the program. Additionally, proposed work requirements could cause up to 5 million families to lose some or all of their monthly benefits. H.R. 1’s proposed SNAP cuts will cause untold suffering, increase food insecurity, and force further cuts to SNAP benefits at the state level.
Script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [YOUR CITY].
I’m calling to urge Senator [Moreno/Husted] to oppose the unprecedented SNAP cuts and expansion of SNAP work requirements included in H.R.1. SNAP is not a handout, it's a hand up for people, especially children, who are suffering from poverty and hunger.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ohio Senate
Please take time this week to call Ohio Senator Tim Schaffer.
Senator Tim Schaffer - 614-466-8076
Oppose SB 3: To amend section 5747.02 of the Revised Code to phase-down the state income tax to a flat rate of 2.75% over two years. Senator Schaffer is a sponsor of SB3.
SB3 would set a flat tax of 2.75% for all Ohio citizens with an Ohio adjusted gross income over $27,350. Flat rate taxes such as property taxes on homeowners, rental property, and motor vehicles tend to affect low- and middle-income families most as a larger share of their net worth and income is tied up in these assets. Sales and excise taxes on the purchases that families make every day also affect low- and middle-income families most because they must spend most or all of what they earn to make ends meet. Taxing higher incomes at a higher rate helps to offset this impact. A flat rate income tax guarantees that wealthy families’ total state and local tax bill will be a lower share of their income than that paid by families of more modest means.
Script:
Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [YOUR CITY].
I’m calling to urge Senator Tim Schaffer to oppose Senate Bill 3, currently in the Ways and Means Committee. This bill would create a flat 2.75% income tax rate for all Ohioans earning $27,350 or more. A flat rate income tax guarantees that families of more modest means’ total state and local tax bill will be a higher share of their income than that paid by wealthier families.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
