1. They used budget reconciliation to make it filibuster-proof.

The Democrats have been screaming. But the GOP controls both houses and the presidency. Screaming doesn't help, only voting.

2. Start at the local

state level and run for something it all starts from there.

This is just a general statement just for anyone to run for something.

4. This just passed the House

There's no such thing as a filibuster in the House. The bill was crafted behind closed doors with a minimum of debate. There's not much the Democrats could have done about that, except vote against it. They DO need to constantly remind people about this, though, and the fact that not a single Democrat voted for this monstrosity.

6. I've been wondering where all the "holds" are from Dems. republicans were always putting

holds on bills..only took one to gum up everything.
