I hear House Republicans out on TV saying they would never vote to cut veterans’ benefits.

In case there’s any confusion, I made a little chart that could help them out.

Let people in red districts know what their Representative voted against. In other cases, let them know what their district Representative voted FOR, like tax cuts for the rich. Write letters. Go on social media. Name names. Send out mailings of vote records.

Make a BFD out of this.

There are plenty of voters out there who would respond to a chart with arrows showing them how their reps voted on legislation that would directly affect them, the voters. There are no ifs, ands or buts. If we can do this, I think it will move people who might not otherwise think it through.

But Independents and fed up Republicans are reachable.

And our own Dems need info to prompt them to get themselves to the polls.

On a billboard near you (or ad)

GOP FAKEriots vote to defund veteran's benefits.

Put on your bullshit-proof vests!

But now we're going to hear from the media how despite all appearances and history, tax cuts for the wealthy will trickle down to benefit everyone, right down to the poorest of the poor.

give equal footing to both sides (the Fair and Balanced approach) so each must be either right or crazy (but let's just attack Democrats for the hell of it because IOKIYAR).
