Hurting American Families

  • Representative Barrett voted for the 2025 Republican budget that would require massive cuts to Medicaid or Medicare, according to the non-partisan CBO. Local citizens protested outside of his office in support of many issues, including homeless veteran support and funding for clinical trials.
  • Representative Barrett sent multiple anti-LGBTQ and otherwise inappropriate fundraising texts out in 2022. Including “CONFIRMED: … your child’s gender reassignment surgery has been booked. If you have any issues with this operation, please view the objectives of Biden’s National Transgender Strategy.” He also falsely claimed that a Democratic State Senator is a child predator saying, “Progressive social media trolls like Senator Mallory McMorrow (D-Snowflake) are outraged they can’t groom and sexualize kindergarteners.”
  • Representative Tom Barrett’s campaign circulated a campaign ad in a local and Black-owned newspaper with a false date for the 2024 election. A complaint was filed with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel asking her to investigate if the ad was intentionally designed to mislead voters.

Talking Points

Here are talking points to guide your calls or emails to these members of Congress. Tell them:

I’m calling to urge you not to cut health care, Social Security or important services that Americans rely on every day. Taking health care away from families, Social Security away from seniors, or school lunches away from kids is not the way to pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk.

  • This includes protecting Medicaid. Medicaid provides health care for millions of seniors, kids, and families. Don’t cut Medicaid benefits, services, or funding to doctors.
  • It also means protecting Social Security and Medicare. These are benefits Americans have paid for and earned.
  • Don’t cut other programs that help regular Americans, like public education and school lunches, veterans benefits, food safety, and air traffic controllers.

Don’t allow Congress to cut these programs and don’t allow Elon Musk to eliminate them through DOGE.
