I Just Made Four Calls To Senate Repug Offices....

Sen. Murkowski - had to leave a voice mail; seems they are ducking taking live calls; said it's a matter of integrity to vote no on this new attempt; she gained a lot of respect voting no the last time; it would be ashamed that she would reverse her decision this time because they dangled dollars in front of her; again it is a matter of integrity - do the right thing.

Sen. McCain - same with this office; had to leave a voice mail; essentially said the same thing; that he gained a lot of new respect from millions of Americans by saying what he did on the floor of the Senate and standing up to the Repug Party and voting no the last time; for McCain it is a matter of both integrity and his legacy and I urged him to do the right thing and vote no on this new attempt by the Repugs; I reminded him that he was disrespected by Trump

Sen. Collins - again had to leave a voice mail; I'm thinking that no Repug office will be taking live calls until this is called to a vote; again I mentioned that this was a matter of integrity and that this current attempt is worse than anything that came before; it would be ashamed if she reversed her thinking on this now and voted yes - I urged her to vote no.

Sen. Paul - this surprised me because i didn't expect to get a live person to talk to in Sen. Paul's office; I urged the person that answered this call to tell Sen. Paul to vote no on this new attempt to Repeal and Replace ACA; I said again that this current attempt is worse than anything that came before; Paul's representative said that Paul will be voting no on this and he went on to say that it probably not for the same reasons I want him to vote no; we both chuckled and I said to him - I'll take a no vote anyway I can get it.

I'm urging everyone here on DU to make similar calls - to these Senators and to the Repug Senators of your home states. We need to stop this current attempt by the Repugs to further decimate all the gains we've made and deny millions and millions of Americans good healthcare coverage.

Will We Ever Be Able To Recover From The Damage That Trump Is Doing To Our Relationships.....

with the countries of the world? Do the leaders of these countries know that this is pure Trump and not the will of the American People?

With Respect To ACA - I'm From A State That Has Two Dem Senators.....

should I be calling Repug Senators to tell them not to vote for the Repugs new attempt to repeal and replace ACA?

If so - can somebody post some telephone numbers. I'm thinking McCain, Collins, Murkowski and Paul. Any others I should call that may be on the verge of voting no?

Are There Any Plagues Anywhere In The World?....

We have the pacific northwest burning. We have earthquakes in Mexico. Houston was under water thanks to Harvey Florida was pummeled by Irma. We have Jose off the eastern coast that will cause some problems and Cat 5 Maria going to decimate the Virgin Island spared by Irma (St Croix) and take out Puerto Rico - San Juan in its sights.

Oh - and Trump is our president that going to take out North Korea and probably Iran as well.

It's the end of the world as we know it!!!!!! YIKES!!!!!!!

Is Trump Running Out Of The Good Things That Obama Did So He Can Undo?.....

Just asking!!!

By Trump undoing Obama's successes - Trump is finding out just how good a President Obama was.

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.

It Pisses Me Off That MSNBC Cut Away From Bernie's Medicare For All Presintation...

and it is not on CNN or CSPAN & CSPAN 2. MSNBC would rather listen to the lies being spewed by the WH and Sarah Huckabee.
