ACTION ITEM - Ask all your friends and family - and neighbors on Socials - to preview what they would be paying in ACA insurance next year ... Or show your results. Self-employed? Looking for a job? Working a service job? A farmer? Over 55? This is what we face now... unless Congress acts.

You can now preview 2026 ACA insurance premiums on healthcare.gov.

A family of four in Maricopa County paid $514 a month for their ACA plan in 2025. Next year, that same plan will cost $2,435. That kind of increase will be devastating for thousands of Arizona families.

Speak up for #tucson City Council Member Santa Cruz. Send them thank you notes or call them out in Socials. They have been harassed by an organized campaign, as part of a TPU effort to drive out local public servants. #az #arizona www.lookoutnews.org/outrage-over... Support @lookoutnews.bsky.social

Yep. Go to the #AZ Corp Commission site and look for docket Docket No. E-01345A-25-01051 to file your opinions. Register to vote SRP board. Research the candidates - which ones are open lobbyists for utility and Silicon Valley interests? Or taking $ from the PAC Arizonans for Responsible Growth?

Yep ! Look for Docket No. E-01345A-25-01051 on the #AZ Corp commission site and comment. AND ... support the candidates who are speaking out ... and do your research on which candidates are openly lobbying for "non woke energy" ...whatever that is.
