NEW HEALTH CARE BILL IN THE WORKS NOW
#KillTheBill
#NoCutsNoCaps
#AmericanDeathCareAct
The Washington Post reports that Sen. McConnell may send a new bill to the CBO by tomorrow so that it will receive a score in time for a possible vote when the Senate returns on July 11 http://wapo.st/2tlYXRn.
— Our calls – and the sheer meanness of the bill – made enough Republicans so nervous that McConnell had to postpone voting.
— McConnell will bribe and bully Senators during the 4th of July recess to get them to yes.
— WE MUST RESIST while Senators are at home.
Momentum is with us. Republican governors are widely opposed. But don’t count your chickens. Gather your friends and make a plan. STAND UP. RESIST. And have fun doing it!
— Call both Senators daily. They need our help. They want our help.
— Call friends in Red States. The list of nervous Senators is growing. See http://theatln.tc/2tmBwXY for today’s update, and Indivisible Guide: http://bit.ly/2s1MIpm
— Call Congressman Walden. House Democrats are preparing for a Senate bill according to Nancy Pelosi (June 22 of Pod Save America, linked here: http://bit.ly/2sj3vsh).
STAY LOUD OUT THERE!! WE CAN DO THIS!!

**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 am outraged about what is happening with the bill in the Senate. I will remember his role and his vote come November 2018.”
