We are able to sway the entire TAX SCAM!

Our state alone has enough reps in Congress to stop this bill and the GOP knows it. They are scared...GOOD! Keep calling and if you haven't than you had better start. Get everyone you know to CALL, CALL, CALL! Lawrence O'Donnell had it as the opening story on his show tonight. Our state can impact this entire country and screw up the GOP (a double bonus). Use social media to spread the word. Offices and phones are being inundated and WE MUST keep it up. PRESSURE THEM NON STOP! It IS working!

dems have no say over this bill, it all must come from repubs who bail on it nt msongs Dec 2017 #6
Exactly. That is why we have to get people in the red areas of the state to call their reps too. BigmanPigman Dec 2017 #10
NY and NJ also have red districts that will be burned by the bill... Wounded Bear Dec 2017 #11

I had nearly given up. It is incredible how these GOP'ers have designed this to screw so many folks, including and most especially the Blue States.

The mortgage interest deduction, the property tax deduction, and the state income tax deduction are just three of the myriad things these idiots are trying to take away from normal folk. How any person, Red State or Blue State, could abide by this shit is just beyond me.

Fuck them to hell. Thanks for reminding me not to give up!

I am tired of the Blue states getting kicked around. We pay a lot to the Fed Govt damn it! I want a return on my high taxes and cost of living.

I will call Eshoo (my congressperson) and McNerney (who is nearby - I give him money sometimes, and he called me once!).

I called Senator Harris's office yesterday and gave the aide a respectful earful - a "this will not stand" speech.

Thanks, BigmanPigman. I read all your posts and I like your spirit!!

but I am so pissed off I can barely stand it. I am passionate and stubborn. My niece is going to college in DC. I told her that if I lived there I probably would have been arrested several times by now for protesting in congressional hallways, etc. RESIST! Peace.

I call the GOP reps in all the states by using address of homes for sale on Zillow in case they ask I have a legit zip code and they will listen to me thinking that I am a constituent who will NOT be voting for them in the future. I got the idea at a rally in July and it works like a charm and takes only two minutes to Google. Do whatever you can to get others to call and be strong, loud and PERSISTENT!

I didn't realize it was in the CA group until after I hit reply.

You could post in GD if you like. Maybe note that you're talking about CA in title.
