Stefanik Constituents to Hold Day-Long Vigils at District Offices to

Stop GOP Tax Scam

Community Leaders in Glens Falls and Plattsburgh to

Protest Massive Gifts to the Rich Paid for By Cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Education

GLENS FALLS & PLATTSBURGH, NY - Concerned constituents of Rep. Elise Stefanik will be holding rolling vigils at district offices in opposition to the GOP tax bill which is expected to be voted on this week.

While Rep. Stefanik has stated her objections to changes to the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction, she has remained silent on aspects of the bill that cut vital health care programs, slash the tax rate for corporations and the rich, and raise taxes on low- and middle-income earners.

She has been silent on raising taxes on most Americans and stealing healthcare from 13 Million and premium increases of up to 10% for the rest of us.

She has been silent on cutting the corporate rate by 40% for the billionaires from Wall St to Moscow who back the GOP.

She has been silent on adding over 1 Trillion dollars to the defiicit, which will then be the pretense for draconian cuts to Medicare, Social Security and Education

While Paul Ryan, expected this to pass comfortably, has given Elise Stefanik a pass to vote no, voters remember that she voted to take away Healthcare when Ryan needed her.

As long as Stefanik supports Ryan and the GOP leadership, she bears responsibility for the #GOPTaxScam!
