Tell Baumgartner His Tax Breaks For The Wealthy Are Not Free
Congress is on tract to pass the largest and most regressive piece of legislation in American history. Millions could lose access to healthcare and housing, children will go hungry, veterans will lose their benefits, and Americans could face life-threatening consequences.
The agenda of 45’s regime is targeting our livelihoods, healthcare, public education funding, and even the constitution. This aligns with tactics often used by dictators: keeping the masses poor, hungry, and uneducated will allow domination. Michael Baumgartner seems to support this agenda.

Spokane Indivisible’s Chatty CATs Message and Scripts:
Date: July 1, 2025
Description: Now that the Senate's version of the Big Ugly Bill has passed, it is going back to the house. Although we expect Rep. Baumgartner, a MAGA loyalist, to vote in favor, we need to call him and let him know there is a relentless wave of opposition against him. WE WILL NOT GIVE UP!
Recently Baumgartner sent out a flyer full of misleading statements about the tax cuts. He is trying to gaslight us that the tax breaks are free and good for the average American. See this Spokane Indivisible analysis of the lies vs. truth in his flyer: https://substack.com/home/post/p-167285584
If you received one of those flyers, you will also notice that what is missing is HOW all these tax breaks for the super wealthy are going to get paid for. They are going to be paid for by cuts to Medicaid and SNAP and Baumgartner knows this and is pretending the tax breaks for the wealthy are free. We are going to call him out on this.
Talking Points: Pick the points you feel most passionate about or make multiple calls using multiple talking points. Or make up your own!
Start every call with hi my name is ( ) calling from (City, ZIP) or I'm a constituent calling from (City, ZIP).
I am opposed to the Big Beautiful Bill. I do not want Rep. Baumgartner to support it.
Rep. Baumgartner lies when he says he is protecting Medicaid for the most vulnerable. The most vulnerable of his constituents are exactly the ones who will lose health care because he voted for the BBB. (1)
Rep. Baumgartner lies by saying that the BBB strengthens Medicaid when it actually decimates it. (1)
Rep. Baumgartner lies when he claims to be in favor of reducing the deficit, yet he voted in favor of the BBB that will increase the deficit by $3 trillion.
Rep. Baumgartner claims to be interested in rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse. He pretends like Medicaid is rife with fraud, waste, and abuse while ignoring the fraud, waste, and abuse of the trump administration. Like taxpayer money for Trump's birthday military parade, sending the military to LA, accepting a plane from a foreign government. (1)
Rep. Baumgartner lies and says immigrants are receiving Medicaid. They are not. (1)
I want Rep. Baumgartner to know that we know he is lying to us about the BBB.
I want Rep. Baumgartner to know that we know the BBB is a tax cut for the wealthy at the expense of the most vulnerable of his constituents.
I want Rep. Baumgartner to know that he does not represent his constituents. He only represents Trump and billionaires.
I want Rep. Baumgartner to vote no on the BBB.
I want Rep. Baumgartner to know his constituents do not support him. We did not vote him in office to give our tax dollars to the most wealthy, while cutting food and healthcare to those in the most need.
We see who Rep. Baumgartner really is. We see who he values and it is not his constituents. We will not vote for him again.
