Wednesday 6/14 Call to Action

Wednesday
Guess what? It’s save our health care day! Are you fired up? Are you ready to make some noise? The ACA is in serious jeopardy. The word on the street is that the Senate is close to having enough votes to pass the AHCA. It’s hard to know what is happening in the Senate because they have kept the American people pretty much in the dark. Let’s try to shed some light on them today.
Your call to action today is to help keep the AHCA in the forefront of everyone’s mind. Spread the facts of what the AHCA will do on your twitter/Facebook/Instagram accounts. Write a letter to your local paper. Do you have friends or family in a state with a GOP senator? Encourage them to call. Senators Franken and Klobuchar are against the AHCA but we must call and encourage them to do everything they can to stop this horrible bill from passing.
1. Today, please call Sens. Klobuchar and Franken and ask them to withhold consent on all Senate business until Republicans agree to hold a public hearing on the AHCA.
What is withholding consent? Read more about it here: file:///C:/Users/pete0/Downloads/WithholdingConsentAndFilibustering_2017-02-05_v3.pdf
We need Klobuchar and Franken to do everything in their power to slow down the legislative process in the Senate. This is not the time for Minnesota nice.
When you call you can ask for the staffer who handles health care.

Here are some tips on how to write a letter to the editor. (Seriously, write one. This is a great way to make your MoC take notice!)http://www.ucsusa.org/action/writing-an-lte.html…
I know you are so tired. I am tired and frustrated and angry and sad...but we have to keep fighting. We may not be able to stop the bleed but we can slow it down. It is not by chance that the GOP has been unable to pass any substantial legislation up until this point. Your efforts are the reason. Keep fighting!!!
