Recess! Tell your Rep. what you think about ‘Cadillac tax,’ TPP
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 6, 2015) — The U.S. House of Representatives is on recess next week, Nov. 9-13, and some members of Washington’s congressional delegation are hosting town hall meetings in their districts.
With bipartisan efforts to get rid of the so-called “Cadillac tax” in the Affordable Care Act and this week’s long-anticipated release of the full text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, these meetings are a great opportunity to share your concerns on these and other important issues. (Download fact sheets on the Cadillac tax and the TPP.)
