I do want to keep pointing out that there are hard core conservatives, including Leonard fucking Leo, opposing the RFK Jr nomination, we believe their coalition is fracturable.
It's important to call GOP senators.

This is the nominee I am trying to fight the hardest against. They are all awful, but this one is especially dangerous. My senators do not represent my interests, but I am calling anyway.
StopRFKjr.com is a simple link you can send to your friends, family, colleagues that makes it incredibly easy for them to call their U.S. Senators and tell them to oppose the disastrous nomination of RFK Jr to run all federal health programs.
Please share StopRFKjr.com as widely as you can
