Tax Bill still needs to go back to the House!!

THIS IS WHY WE DEMONSTRATE!

6) If the Senate passes the bill, the House could either take it up and pass it as is or the two chambers could enter into conference negotiations to produce a new plan.

Both the Senate and House would need to pass the conference bill, which requires 50 votes again in the Senate and a bare majority, 218 members, in the House.

Calling, emailing, texting, oh my! Didn't make a dent.

Massive demonstrations in cities across the country is what we need to do.

This tax bill still has to be merged with the House, before becoming final.

2018 is too late.

We falsely relied on Republicans of good will...Susan, Lisa, John, Jeff...

We can't wait for voter apathy to awaken.

Saying here and now, 2018 is too late.

Ps. I was a two term elected official. I've work on the ground for state federal and local office seekers. I've contributed to campaigns (lastest Doug Jones).

We are in a time of crisis that requires big, bold steps. Either recognize it, own it, or perish.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a tweet surfaces

suggesting Sen Franken is a victim of Project Vertias.

If I tweeted.

Holy Cow! Franken has a special gift!

He seems to seek out only registered Republicans to "touch inappropriately."

Hang in there Al.

Remember "Billionaires for Bush?" I'm ready to take them out of mothballs

and rename the movement as "Billionaires love Trump"

Breaking out the limos, furs, diamonds, tuxes and top hats.

I'm exhausted and tired of being sad and angry. Angry isn't working. Time for some fun.

I'm seriously asking. How long do we stand on the curb while watching the train wreck?

Wait and see?
Put all our eggs into Mueller's basket?
Call, write, email?
Give the victims of the train wreck a hand up? Our condolences?

Every. Day.

This is why I think Richard Cordrey has the right stuff.

When he was Atty Gen of Ohio, he won the first and biggest case against predatory credit card companies.

And then this:

When Wells Fargo was opening millions of fraudulent accounts under customer's names without telling them, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau got their money back.
The Bureau helped 75,000 active duty soldiers deployed overseas with credit problems back at home. They protect students from illegal loan practices on student loans. They have handled 1.2 million customer complaints, and have the largest data base of financial customer complaints.
The Bureau has pushed back against esoteric home loans, and forces lenders to make sure borrowed can actually afford to pay back loans. This will help prevent another mortgage meltdown, and fraudulent foreclosures. And the bureau educates consumers on loans and other debt so they know what they are getting into and what to do when they fall behind.
If you are a bank or credit card company, you have a reason to hate their agency. If you are a consumer of financial services, like credit cards, home loans, student loans, etc, the CFPB is working to protect you from global banks, and their constant fees, tricks, and frauds.
