- Stop Republicans from keeping their Obamacare repeal bill hidden from public. What Are They Afraid of? Demand #NoScoreNoVote
GOP members in the House are avoiding regular order by keeping their repeal plan for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) hidden from public view and it appears as though they are trying to ram through a vote on their bill before the cost of repeal can be objectively calculated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)--an unprecedented move.- Call your member of Congress now.\u201cTell your Representative to demand a CBO score on this top secret plan to take away your health care before ANY congressional action.\u201d— Indivisible Guide (@Indivisible Guide) 1488500155
- Call your member of Congress now.
- Tell your member of Congress that recusal not enough; that Attorney General Jeff Sessions must resign; demand special prosecutor
Call your Representative and two Senators today and ask that they make a public statement calling on AG Jeff Sessions to resign. It's not that he had a communications with Russian officials, it's that he lied about it. By Sessions' own standards, someone who has committed perjury must leave office. Demand a special counsel.- Call your member of Congress now. The Indivisible Guide has a sample script and additional information here.
