Every Dem From Every State Where Their Dem Senator Is Not A Co-Sponsor To Medicare For All....

needs to get on the phone today and call their respective Senators and tell them to get on board and support Bernie Sanders Medicare For All Bill that he introduced today.

Currently there are 16 Senate Co-Sponsors.

We need to get all the Dem Senators on board and become co-sponsors.

Call now:

The U.S. Capitol switchboard number 1-202-224-3121
the operator will connect you directly with your respective Senator(s) office(s)

Ask why your Senator was not up on stage today with Bernie and the other Senate co-sponsors and tell them to get on board with co-sponsoring the bill. Our goal again is to get all the Dem Senators as co-sponsors.

Embarrass them if you have to - tell them they don't want to risk being the only Dem Senator not co-sponsoring the bill.

You are with us or against us, if you are against us you are a troll and an DINO. I am not fond of litmus tests in any way.

a question on the "No/Almost Certainly No" - Is it because these Senators are up for re-election and feel they are vulnerable? Are they shills for the health insurance industry? Dino's? What is their reasoning? Is there any way that they can be persuaded to change?

I called both Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin's offices today. Comment was that they haven't weighed in on this yet?

One small thing, Angus King from Maine is an Independent.

My Senators are on the Public Maybe column.
