We lost a battle. Here's how we win the war.
To become law, Trumpcare has to go through 4 additional steps:
1. Pass an amended version in the Senate
2. Go to “conference“ to hammer out differences between the House and Senate
3. Pass in the House again
4. Pass in the Senate again
I hope you’ll be there every step of the way, until Trumpcare collapses under the weight of its own cruelty.
Here’s what you can do:
11 days of congressional recess starts today. At this very moment, your Representatives are on flights back home to your district. Over the next week they’ll be holding fundraisers and working out of their district offices. As of today, only 5 members of Congress have scheduled town halls.
First, call on them publicly to have a town hall to explain their vote on Trumpcare. If they won’t, show up at their district office and give clear feedback.
When these members are forced to vote again on Trumpcare, they will look back to the responses of their constituents this week.
To help you make your voice heard loud and clear over the next 11 days, Indivisibleguide.com has put together an updated Trumpcare resources webpage (below). Please make use of it.
You’re needed. Now.

ReplyDeleteYeah, Cara's original post is public.
ReplyDeleteShow up at their local office with a machete and cut off their feet. That would send a strong message. Fuckers.
ReplyDeleteETA: I'm not really going to do that. I'm either too privileged or not unhinged enough.
So I'm planning to show up at my rep's office. His statement looks to me like a series of outright lies, can anyone tell me if there's any justification for any of this?
ReplyDelete"We are finally on the path to fixing our broke and broken health care system. The AHCA upholds protections for pre-existing conditions and the expansion of Medicaid, which help our most vulnerable populations."
1. is the system actually broke? (broken's another question)
2. it looks to me like they're slashing protections for pre-existing condition - what could he be talking about?
3. "expansion of Medicaid" - it's actually losing $800 billion, no?
...anyone have any ideas?
They put a little bit of money aside for pre-existing conditions. But instead of guaranteed coverage, it's money that needs to be fought over.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks, Richard. My rep's are Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar, and Keith Ellison, so all I can do in these situations is tell them to keep fighting.
