Pennsylvania Together partnered with local activist groups Yardley Indivisible and Indivisible Bucks County to hold a rally for voters opposing the tax cuts for the wealthy, which play an instrumental part in the budget plan recently approved by the US Senate.
With tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, working Americans are paying more for everyday goods, while budgets for critical agencies and programs like Social Security and Medicare are slashed to accommodate tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations.
Over 100 concerned constituents gathered in front of Congressman Fitzpatrick’s office in Langhorne at 5 pm on Tuesday, April 15th. Speakers included Bucks County Clerk of Courts Eileen Hartnett Albillar and local grassroots leaders. Gathered protesters displayed signs and filled out constituent contact forms that will be dropped off at the Congressman’s office the following day.

Not only does Medicaid keep people healthy to enable them to continue working, it creates healthcare jobs. Any and all cuts to Medicaid should be off the table; Bucks County working families don’t deserve to be abandoned by Representative Fitzpatrick for the benefit of wealthy business owners.”

The cuts to Medicaid that DOGE and the Republicans have promised will all have negative, direct effects on our families and communities. And we need our Congressman to stand up and oppose these actions that are harming his constituents!”
