No deal is better than a bad deal and this is a bad deal.
Elections have consequences and the Republicans lost. We need Democrats to stand strong and fight for a fair deal for America's middle class.
Call your senators today and tell them no deal is better than a bad deal.

Certainly if you hear the negotiations are considering something you disagree with, calling your senator and letting them know is appropriate.
But I've learned that to get overheated based on rumors is a waste of entropy.
