Talk about our liberal vision: America as a country that cares for all who have suffered during the pandemic.
Say:
Democrats are providing direct relief to Americans who are suffering
The American Rescue Plan is good government: providing for the general welfare
Americans are suffering through no fault of their own
Avoid: Don’t talk about stimulus. This is not to stimulate the economy. It is disaster relief.
Here are a few parts of the plan (there are many more):
Provide direct relief to families – food, housing, and direct assistance
Scale up a National COVID vaccination and testing program
Support communities – workers and small businesses who are struggling during the crisis
Safely re-open schools
Raise the minimum wage for all Americans
