Stop the 10 Year Ban on AI Regulation. Call Congress!

This week before July 4th is the most important week to call to fight against this horrible bill that will kick people off Medicaid, more rich tax cuts, & let AI run unregulated for 10 years.

This week the Senate is voting and then the bill goes back to the House where both the Senate and the House will reconcile the differences between the two bills and then vote on the final bill. We MUST Stop this bill for the future of our planet and the health of our people. Call every day until this bill is stopped no matter if your representatives are Republican or Democrat!

5 Calls is the easiest and most effective way for U.S. constituents to make a political impact. Easily call your Senators & Congress people about the top issues to put pressure on elected officials.
