Sort of good news...Repub senators' phone lines are especially busy or taking messeges.

I just called the 11 Repub senators who are possibly "swinging" with McConnell's version of Trumpcare. 75% of them had either busy signals or mail boxes for messeges. I have called all 100 senators 3 different times so far this year and am familiar with their system. I have their staffers' names, I have fake constituents addresses from Zillow and I have my own true and sad story of my health and financial situation. Since their lines are busy this means others are also calling. This was not true a week ago. MoveOn.org really pushed for this (as well as more pressure for an Independent Investigation besides Mueller's FBI investigation) during last week's nation wide phone call and it seems to be helping. I hope others do the same. I would like to thank all the DUers who contributed staffers' names and the numbers of the Senators who may swing!

American knows they did and has a VERY loud response.

Now the more we do it LEGALLY and peacefully, the better.

I hope there is a protest and whatever being planned that will show each and every American which senators just voted to take HC away from millions, including their loved ones.
