Life Expectancy Errata

Oops - Resistbot Correction

Teammates, In yesterday’s newsletter I accidentally forgot to say SIGN in the resistbot command. The corrected command and text message is below. Apologies

Use RESISTBOT (text SIGN PBICPV to 50409) or call or email your congressional representative and senators (their contact info is in the References Section) and tell them something like:

“ Hi. My name is [name] and I live in [zipcode] and I am your constituent. Life expectancy for Americans is worse than our peer industrialized nations and getting worse daily. Ours is declining (down to 76) and theirs is increasing (82 and above) even after COVID. A recent article in the Journal of the Population Research Bureau (Jan 12, 2023) found that it is related to policies in place at state levels. More liberal healthcare, labor, environmental, tax polices and more stringent gun safety measures led to longer lives. People in states that have the.opposite die sooner. If all states had such liberal policies over 170,000 lives world have been saved in 2019 alone.

You can fix so much of this. I want you to cosponsor and support HR3421, Improved Medicare For All. I want you to build tougher federal gun safety and ownership laws - that will save the lives of many of the 48,000 gunshot casualties each year. I want you to create a federal living minimum wage that really matches where the economy is, not $7.25/hour. You can do it and you can save those lives. Do it.”
