Pete Sessions (R-TX) is getting slammed on his FB page by Texans. The sample I've provided is not a pick and choose sample, but rather a linear cut-n-paste (though I've edited out names, and "likes" and crap, the words are theirs). I didn't see one post in support of his vote (out of app. 150 so far). The GOP may have awoken a sleeping giant (as two of the posts references)... and in TX nonetheless!
Stop pushing through half-cooked legislation in attempt to save face with your base. It is not helpful to them or to anyone else. If you want to fix things, moderate the huge expenses that cause families to fall into bankruptcies after illness and ac...
No more fine at the end of the year thank god.
Lives in Pete Sessions's District Shame on you.
You sir are a pre-existing condition. Hopefully you are eliminated from covering any Americans with your ignorance soon.
Dear Pete Sessions, I am a 19 year old college student studying Political Science at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, though I call the 32nd District of Dallas my home. I should be studying for my exams right now, but I am instead writing to y...See More
Pete Sessions Thanks for considering the constituents that your vote will directly harm by voting for this asinine bill. Never been less proud to be from your district and to have attended your "leadership and growth summer intern program." Pete Sessions < mild to severe indigestion < a randomly selected American to do your job.
Shame on you
What planet are you on Sessions......?
I fear all we have done is waken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.- Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Dec 1941.
Pete, this vote will literally kill thousands of people Fuck you!
As a person who lives in your district, I can say that today I am ashamed to call you my representative. I truly hope no one you care about ever gets sick. Oh wait, your family will be exempt from pre-existing conditions... Guess that's all that matters. To hell with the rest of us.
Your vapid rhetoric addresses none of the real issues affecting the costs of or access to care. You've voted to restrict access to care for many Americans. Shame.
Fuck you.
Now we have a discriminatory system that gives extreme tax cuts to rich people and removes the coverage for pre-existing conditions
Ja, brilliant! Legislation that compromises coverage of preexisting conditions. We aren't ALL covered by group plans. Cheers to all my friends and family who wilfully screwed me and others like me by voting for the likes of you.
You guys woke a sleeping giant. From this day on, your position in the House is on borrowed time. You will be unemployed next year. Texas will make sure of that.
You are not representing your constituents! Please hear our voices!!!
How do you sleep at night!

Lives in Pete Sessions's District Fool.
I am going to make sure EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS in your district will VOTE YOU OUT. You claim to care about families, but your vote today shows you do not care nor vote in alignment with people you are MEANT TO REPRESENT. SHAM...See More
You will lose your seat for this vote.
This bill is ridiculous!! A better system needs to include coverage for pre-existing conditions.

So, when are you planning a personal event to defend your vote?
So "deliberate, thoughtful, and responsible" that you ram a bill through without waiting for a CBO score!
Did you even read the bill?
Apparently you forget you won your district by 3 points last time. i can't wait to vote you out of office.
If it is "far superior to the health care system we have now," why do you and your colleagues remain on the plan currently in place?
I'll believe you think this is the best healthcare system for Americans when you sign up for it. Are you willing to do that? No. Didn't think so. I hope the voters will hunt down every single Republican that voted for this and make sure they never get the opportunity to screw the American public again. 2018 can't get here soon enough.
You clearly aren't listening to your constituents. They will fix that for you in the next election.
I guess you forgot all about your town hall meeting in Richardson Texas. You are not safe any more. The Democrats are coming to unseat you. You have forgotten how to listen to the people.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being. Taking affordable care away from millions of Americans, and adding RIDICULOUS pre-existing conditions will in no way help our country. I will gleefully vote against you in 2018, and hope that your miserable black soul is now considered a pre-existing condition for which YOU will be denied care.
Traitor.
Shame on you, Congressman. No town halls, no due diligence, and no accountability for your constituents, many of whom depend on Medicare, Medicaid, and the coverage of essential health benefits. You don't get the right to call yourself a mental health advocate.
Your vote today disgusts me. Since you have no interest in standing up for your constituents, I have gladly donated to MoveOn.org to support Democratic opponents in 2018.
I was appalled by Murphy's press release after the vote. Maybe he did not read the bill, as he insists that the law he voted for guarantees coverage for those with pre-existing conditions and provides every American with access to affordable coverage. I guess that if you lie long enough eventually you start believing the lies yourself. This man must be ousted from office.
Shame on you for voting to betray the people who stuck up for you. Money is not more important than life, you need to learn that.
Tim, you are a partisan idiot, just like trump and the others.
Shame on you, Mr. Murphy. No town halls or discussion on how your constituents felt about the AHCA. A bill not scored by the CBO. Just secret lobbying and a rushed vote. Enjoy your remaining months. November 2018 will be here before you know it
If you are sure your vote represented us, release your call/email/fax counts and show us the numbers.
Voted for tRUMPS murder bill huh? feel good? don't come back to Western PA
SHAME ON YOU!! You have no conscience, sir. You claim to care about mental health issues while voting to throw millions of people off insurance? The hypocrisy is absolutely stunning.
