Call your Senators today.
Senator Bennet: Contact Us
Ask Senator Bennet to delay the AHCA vote through procedure and filibuster by amendment. . Republicans had 100s of amendments to the ACA bill, after months of hearings. Democrats can submit amendments to the AHCA bill. You may write your own amendment here, and submit it to Senator Bennet and Senator Gardner.
Senator Gardner: Contact Cory*
You can check the Indivisible Guide for call scripts to talk with Cory's staff ( I actually had a pretty good 10 minute talk with a staff member in Yuma), but these are the talking points I use: (all are from Indivisible Stop Trumpcare guide)
Trumpcare, by cutting Medicaid, will cut funds for the 64% of elderly and disabled people currently in nursing homes. Where are these people supposed to go?
Medicaid cuts will also cut medical services for 1.5 million severely disabled children living in poverty. What kind of "compassionate conservative" is for that?
For average consumer, premium costs will go up while care quality goes down.
Meanwhile, Congress gets to keep its own Obamacare provisions untouched. It's true that there is a companion bill which would eliminate the Congressional exemption when Trump signs the AHCA, but what if he just doesn't sign the bill?
Also ask Gardner's staff: Why won't he meet with constituents? Does he think that our concerns don't matter? He has time to meet with Koch brothers and a Phillipine dictator – why not the people he's supposed to represent?
Killing off your opposition didn't work, so now it is delay and filibuster.
The party of hate still can't figure out why they can't connect with the middle class.
You are a filthy lying skank, Carnholio, a man with no honor, no integrity. You are truly a waste of space.
Stay upwind my friend.
Dare I ask? What opposition was killed off? Oh yeah, I forgot. It was Vince Foster and Seth Rich.
Are you referring to the six killed while the gunman was aiming for Gabby Giffords?
That's what I like about you, V. Always able to find the good attributes in even the most vile.
I know. And V even listed Cornholio's greatest attributes in his post.
Ha ha. The Senate just delayed a vote on the bill til after July 4. Public pressure is working, and a few decent (moderate) Republicans who wouldn't vote for the monstrosity even after being threatened with ads and who knows what.
Suck on that, trollstain.
I think I’ll stand downwind for a while. I do enjoy the smell of Republican desperation.
I just saw this at Reuters and had to come and see if it was posted yet.
And here’s some more good news. TrumPence’s attempt to “straight-wash” the Federal government is failing:https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/06/lgb-question-brought-back-federal-survey/?
Thanks, cook! That's one for the "Good News" report.
The problem with asking folks about their sexual orientation is that if you want to be completely accurate, you would need straight, gay, bisexual and traditional family values, wide stance conservative.
Killer news!
Reports are coming in of canaries being overcome by shillstink. Carnholio alert is in effect for Front Range region and all points on the Internet. Trumpstink forecast is 9.8 with a slight chance of an Ivanka amelioration.
Stay upwind my friends.
Ivanka professes to be disinterested in politics.
Let me provide the excuse for Andrew, Moderatus, Prune that they don't possess the cojones to bring up. Forget about the health care bill for now. It's time yet again to talk about Hillary's e-mails and Benghazi.
No, Whitewater! Talk about Whitewater!
Or Travel-gate. Or Trooper-gate.
Wasn’t there also some cattle futures HRC put money into and lost? Prosperity Jesus would not approve!
How about Bernie and his wife under FBI investigation or the clown AG who met with slick willy and ordered Comey to refer to the investigation as something else to comport with the Clinton campaign's categorization of it?
Man, you really don't want to talk about your precious Wealthcare bill being delayed , do you?
Never before have so few been asked to defer grabbing so much from so many as the tax cut for which the GOP upper crust is being asked to wait.
Oh the horror, the horror…..
Another day where skank-holio ain't got shit. You may as well just tell us that the bird is the word.
"Covfefe"
"covfefe"has many meanings. You'll need to be more specific.
While we're quoting Lady Thatcher, I'd recommend this 30 minute video to all of our resident #FlatEarth altar boys. If you can sit still beyond your 3 minute attention span you'll learn something from listening to the Iron Lady.
V – I was in your neck of the woods yesterday. The new owners of the Venango bar make a great burger!
I spent a lot of my misspent youth in Venango. Say, the farm is only 40 miles from Wray and I'm half honking of coming back through there on my next trip to the farm. I couldn't find you in the Wray phone book. What's the best way to get a hold of you?
I gave up my landline long ago! Email me at mike@nationalhempassociation.org and we'll figure out a schedule. I'm thinking about a Pols hemp day on the farm in August. Wray could use a little Front Range cash stimulating the local economy!
I would be very interested in a Pols hemp learning day.
Sounds like a grand idea. The Republican Riviera is one of Colorado's best kept secrets.
I'll be there, can bring food and/or help set up.
I'll put something together for a weekend in August!
That large picture of TwoScoops on the cover of Time magazine hanging in his clubhouses from Florida to Scotland? FAKE!!!. Who'd have thunk?
Yep, the Buffoon-in-Thief's fragile ego (his chair at one resort facing the wall with his picture, really?) needs constant support. He's as genuine as a $3 bill.
He should have a portrait of himself done on black velvet with his arm around Elvis.
That would really impress them, Donald.
Good idea. Here's a start, from WFMU radio. It was a raffle prize.![](https://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2015/12/02/trump_velvet_large.jpg)
Don't forget the portrait with the loving arms of #ProsperityJesus dutifully wrapped around the #PussyGrabber. <sigh>
She wants Jesus to protect the pussy grabber from the "fiery darts" of the enemy. Given where his head is usually burrowing, she be wiser to worry about the "dairy farts."
That ain't Jesus, that's Wolfman Jack!
#AltJesus
I figured it was trivial to acquire such an artifact and I was right. At this website, they even have sample fake covers with, guess who?, featured. http://magazineyourself.com/
Here's my personal favorite (for today!)
Holy crap. There is a live stream of disabled protesters from ADAPT ( http://adapt.org/donate/) occupying Cory Gardner's office right now. Alan Franklin is live updating. Carrie Anne Lucas is hosting the live video stream. Folks are bringing up food and drink, pillows, etc because Gardner's office shut off AC, the toilets,
Because the Wealthcare bill would cut off the incomes of millions of disabled people. Nursing homes might lose 60% of their clients. How's that for jobs jobs jobs?
Call, email, or fax Cory Gardner now. Tell him to vote no on Wealthcare (the Senate's healthcare bill.
Tell him to have a freaking in-person town hall already.
I can’t seem to embed the live stream, but here’s a link to it:

Update: They now have access to toilets in the building.
