Sign this petition: Howard Schultz

Schultz can't win as an Independent. But he can peel off just enough voters to act as a spoiler and re-elect Donald Trump. 

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor, and the Affordable Care Act saved my life. One hundred thirty million Americans have pre-existing conditions, and we need to make sure that no out-of-touch billionaires are elected president who will threaten our health care.

Howard Schultz is an unqualified billionaire businessman. He's mad that strong progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren want the rich to pay their fair share, so he's decided to run for president to stop this. But if he runs, he'll help re-elect Donald Trump—putting a target on tens of millions of us and our health care.

Sign this petition telling Howard Schultz: Don't run for President as an Independent, you will only help re-elect Trump and further erode progress made through the Affordable Care Act. #NoHowardNo!

Schultz can't win as an Independent. But he can peel off just enough voters to act as a spoiler and re-elect Trump. Schultz is already hearing from the public that this is a terrible idea. We need to step it up and make sure he gets the message. We all cannot afford four more years of Trump, who continues to undermine and attack protections for pre-existing conditions and access to affordable, high-quality health care.

Schultz has been critical of popular bipartisan plans which will provide health insurance to all Americans at no cost to us. He's trying to water down one of the boldest progressive stances—health care for all—just to fuel his ego as yet another billionaire white man with no public service experience who thinks that he has the right answers.

Thanks!
