Members of my family may now die because our Congressman-Mike Lawler-decided to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Affordable Care Act protections so he could give billionaires a tax break

We’ll never forget

And we’ll do everything we can to vote you out

It’s a simple calculus

Cut Medicaid Lose Your Job
This is Mike Lawler (R-NY). If he votes for this bill,
32,216 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare.
18,264 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance.

The GOP are taking food and health care from the poor so the richest people alive can get even richer.

This may be the most morally repugnant bill Congress has ever produced. It will devastate Memphis, TN-9, and beyond.

I voted HELL NO. I’ll keep fighting this cruelty with everything I've got.

Defund ICE, fund Medicare.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

And yet, we don’t want to create an educational structure that meets the diversity of skills, talents, and needs of our children and youth. Imagine if we fully prepared every student for success. We could do this but it cost money. It is an investment. The rich don’t want to empower people.
This man has government-funded health care
Rep. Steve Scalise says of proposed Medicaid cuts: "35-year-olds sitting at home playing video games, they're gonna now have to go get a job."

"And by the way, that's a good thing for them — their mom doesn't want them sitting in the basement playing video games anyway."

"While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on some degree of responsibility and even courage from elites." The people are passing this test, and the elites are not.
The Public Is Resisting Trump. The Elites Aren’t.
The president is encountering little resistance as he remakes our society. And yet polling is clear that voters aren’t with him.

Republicans just voted to advance their big, ugly betrayal of a bill — which is now loaded with so much other junk that they don't even KNOW what’s in it.

Well guess what: we're going to force them to read every damn word.

And then we're going to fight it in every way we can.
