"Want to take immediate revenge on House Republicans who voted to destroy health care? Here's how"

Last edited Thu May 4, 2017, 10:30 PM - Edit history (2)

From Kos.
There is a special contribution button for Act Blue in the article. Follow the link to stick it to these swine.

Moat satisfying $25 I've ever spent.


"We’ve identified the following 24 “yes” votes as among the most endangered Republicans up for re-election next year, so we’re adding all of these districts to our new slate of nominee funds:

District Republican District Republican
AZ-02 McSally, Martha IL-06 Roskam, Peter
CA-10 Denham, Jeff IL-13 Davis, Rodney
CA-21 Valadao, David IL-14 Hultgren, Randy
CA-25 Knight, Steve KS-03 Yoder, Kevin
CA-39 Royce, Ed MI-11 Trott, Dave
CA-45 Walters, Mimi MN-02 Lewis, Jason
CA-48 Rohrabacher, Dana MN-03 Paulsen, Erik
CA-49 Issa, Darrell NE-02 Bacon, Don
FL-25 Diaz-Balart, Mario NJ-11 Frelinghuysen, Rodney
FL-26 Curbelo, Carlos TX-07 Culberson, John
IA-01 Blum, Rod TX-32 Sessions, Pete
IA-03 Young, David VA-02 Taylor, Scott
A big surge in donations now would have huge salutary effects right away: It would both terrify Republicans and boost Democratic efforts to recruit good candidates. Of course, it would also help us defeat these Republicans next year. And as it happens, 24 is exactly the number of seats we need to take back the House.

So make them pay: Donate $1 right now to each of the Democratic nominee funds targeting vulnerable House Republicans who voted to destroy access to health care."

For some reason the ful list of rethugs won't copy.
You can see the names at the link.




UPDATE - SINCE THIS POSTING, THE THERMOMETER HAS SHOT UP NEARLY TO THE TOP!

THANKS TO EVERYONE!



UPDATE - $566,311 RAISED AS OF THIS EDIT!

I also would be deliriously happy to see Dana Rohrabacher bounced out of the 48th.

SHAME on them.

Darrell Issa is particularly afraid. He won reelection last November by a whisker. Just barely kept his seat. I think he already knows he's in trouble.

They just showed all of America what they REALLY stand for, and it will have real impact on the lives of the morons who voted for Trump.

I want these cretins to fear shame and guilt for what they have done today.

Sadly these rethugs are party over country and have no conscience. If you vote rethug in my opinion you are a selfish prick. Just as I would never trust or ever respect the judgement of a chump supporter.

I avoid making donations on a high traffic web site. Not paranoid about the Russian hacks of DNC data bases, I am donating directly to the campaigns of Democratic Progressives running in my state. I will work for the elected Democratic Primary winners.
