Excerpts:
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders is traveling to Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania this weekend to rally against the Republican tax bill, his office told NBC News, keeping up a brisk pace of political activity since leaving the presidential race last year and ahead of a potential second one in 2020.
Sanders, who held a similar series of rallies across the country this year to oppose the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, is using his "Protecting Working Families Tour" to pressure on-the-fence GOP senators before a vote on the tax bill, President Donald Trump's top legislative priority.
In addition to condemning the bill for reducing taxes on the wealthy, Sanders is hoping to use the tour to argue the tax plan would pave the way for cuts to Social Security and Medicare, which have proved politically deadly for Republicans in the past.
The bill is expected to raise the deficit by $1.4 trillion, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently say could trigger an obscure budget rule that Democrats warn could force Medicare cuts.

I have been posting their plans since the call. This is the week of ACTION and we must stop the Tax Scam. At the very least delay it. Here are the numbers to call and a link at the bottom for further action as well as scripts for red and blue states. WE MUST STOP THIS NOW!!! The government can shut down. It did with Clinton and the GOP got the negative fallout (as it should've been).
DO IT!
Here is my list to call and share with others as well as
A great link...RESIST! Peace.
Call all of them. All the numbers start with (202)224-****
Corker (TN) 3344
McCain (AZ) 2235
Flake (AZ) 4535
Collins ( ME)2523
Heller (NV)6244
Murkowski (AK)6665
Moran (KS)6521
Johnson(WI)5323
Young (IN)5623
Call them all. If you go to Zillow for the individual STATE you can get a local address and zip to use in case the senator's phone staffer needs validation that you are a voting constituent. It works and they NEVER check. I have done it with over 400 calls in the past year. It literally takes two minutes to Google Zillow. Your phone area code doesn't matter due to cell phones. Tell them a personal story. Also, here is a useful link to share...
