TRUMPCARE VOTE DELAYED — BUT IT’S NOT OVER
#KillTheBill
#NoCutsNoCaps
#AmericanDeathCareAct
By raising our voices against Trumpcare/AHCA we delayed a vote in the Senate!! http://nyti.ms/2sYf45e
WE DID THIS! Our pressure here and across the country is working. But our work is far from done. Remember what happened in the House: Trumpcare seemed dead; then deals were made to move the bill to the right — and it passed http://wapo.st/2skoCFY.
Senator Mitch McConnell is already working on ways to get Senators to YES http://bit.ly/2tVWU4d, http://bit.ly/2sfbqqI. He plans to reintroduce the bill after the 4th of July recess and have a vote mid-July http://bit.ly/2sPgelg.
We MUST protect America’s healthcare.
We MUST keep up the pressure.
We MUST stay focused.
We MUST kill the bill.
We do this by:
• Standing by Senators Merkley and Wyden. We MUST keep calling and showing support. They are leading the resistance in the Senate http://bit.ly/2sfExu8, http://bit.ly/2tVLbTh.
• Calling Greg Walden to speak out against Trumpcare http://bit.ly/2sZtD8Z
• Helping our friends and family in red states tell their “swing” senators to vote NO on Trumpcare – no matter what deal is offered.
We MUST resist over the 4th of July recess. Gather your friends and make a plan.
STAY LOUD OUT THERE!!
**ACTION 1: CALL SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN**
VOICEMAILS COUNT TOO. KEEP CALLING UNTIL YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE WITH A PERSON OR A MACHINE.
SAMPLE SCRIPT
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I want to thank Senator [–] for standing up against Trumpcare and leading the resistance in the Senate. Please know that I will continue to call and fight against Trumpcare. Together we can stop this bill in the Senate.“
**ACTION 2: CALL CONGRESSMAN WALDEN**
VOICEMAILS COUNT TOO. KEEP CALLING UNTIL YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE WITH A PERSON OR A MACHINE.
SCRIPT: “My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I am appalled that Congressman Walden was an architect of Trumpcare in the House. I’m aghast at what is happening with the bill in the Senate. I will remember his role and his vote come November 2018.”
**ACTION 3: CALL EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN AK, WV, ME, NV, AZ, CO, OH, PA, LA, AR, WI**
Ask them to tell their Senators to vote NO on Trumpcare – no matter what deals are offered over the 4th of July recess. Then send them to https://www.trumpcareten.org/ (The Indivisible Guide’s site for all the low down on the fight against Trumpcare).
