Sydney Kamlager-Dove: "It's total corruption... to try to take control of our govt, to have access to our social security numbers, our medical benefits, all of the information we use when we're trying to get a motherfuckin' tax return. And you're gonna take our money? Homie don't play that."

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
