Jul 2017

with this last vote. I got through to 2 staffers. I didn't bother with McCain since I hate him (always have and always will) since he says one thing and does the other so my efforts would be wasted.

There are two more to vote on before the weekend, the Skinny bill and the Graham/Cassidy Amendment so hopefully the calls and letters and protests will do some good. The problem is McConnell. He is ALWAYS the problem. No one knows what the hell they are even voting on and he keeps changing the rules in the Senate so everyone is confused as to how to vote and how many are valid as well as time frames. This is no way to run the Senate.

I hope McConnell is caught for colluding with the Russians and we can get rid of Ryan and him (and Pence) since they are all guilty of crimes "in the family".
