Call them! I don’t know if you depend on the ACA, but I sure as hell do!
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

These are fun as hell, people!
Have you ever read a sci-fi detective comedy narrated by a coffee machine robot? What about one that has 154 footnotes, a star from Publishers Weekly, and a "GET IT" verdict from Kirkus Reviews?
