Call to action - Marco Rubio

So myself and 8 others met for an hour with Marco Rubio's aid. The takeaway is Rubio is not happy with the process used to craft the new healthcare bill. Also he is getting calls from those who want complete repeal of ACA with NO replacement.

He will be briefing the Senator tonight.
CALL NOW (850) 599-9100 DAMMIT!

I feel there is a chance he might vote no.

1. Marco Rubio has disappointed me on so many occasions....

...where you might initially think he'd actually show some independence and principle, but ultimately reveals himself to be a weak-willed partisan hack.

I'd love to see it, but I doubt I ever will.

Miracles could happen, but it would be a miracle if Rubio does anything worth a damn.

4. If Rubio is truly receiving a lot of calls ...

would he even bother to confirm the caller's residency?
Knowing Rubio I doubt it in both instances. He doesn't
work for the voters. He works for the PACs and the lobbyists.

Besides, he would have to be present in order to vote. He
would need someone to show him where WashDC is.

What's being propsed by the Senate Repubs is what they call ObamaCare Lite or Ryancare.

I don't hold out much hope. Thanks for this, though.

9. Rubio is a little parasite. He'll attach himself to Trump like a tick if he thought it would help
