"The GOP is no longer a political party. It is a criminal organization."
I've spent the morning emailing my senators and congresspeople. If you are following news at all, you are very worried about democracy in America continuing to exist.
South Dakota is repealing the voter-imposed ethics law. No ethics in South Dakota.
trump has placed a gag order on all federal agencies. He is deleting science and climate change info in the EPA databases. The EPA cannot fund science anymore. He is going to make American taxpayers pay for his wall....which is just a symbol. That isn't how immigrants get into America. The border is already well guarded. No Muslim or Syrian Refugees allowed, either. Remember the picture of the little boy...the war-victim, sitting in an ambulance after losing his entire family? Yeah...let's keep him out.
Now off to buy postcards to mail follow up notes to all of these people as I doubt they are paying much attention to emails .
The Senate voted 51 to 48:
1. To end coverage for pre-existing conditions (which includes pregnancy, cancer, autism, osteoporosis, and so much more), veterans benefits, and aid to rural hospitals.
2. To remove discrimination protection for women in healthcare.
3. Against the provision allowing children to remain on their parent's insurance till the age of 26.
4. To cut off funding for the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
5. Against ACA contraceptive coverage and maternity care provision.
6. To direct committees to send budget legislation to defund and repeal the Affordable Care Act.
For those who get health insurance through work, no pre-existing conditions. Lifetime caps for coverage are back for everyone.
Real actions are being taken that will affect more than just the 20-30 million people who will lose their health care coverage and the 3 million people who will lose their jobs.
Despite their assertions of this being an action to "repeal and replace," no viable alternative plan has been proposed.
As of this moment, no replacement exists.
Apparently, Speaker Ryan has had his phones cut off because of the volume of calls, so here is his mailing address:
1233 Longworth HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515
Fax: (202) 225-3393
Fascism is real, folks.
PS I don't care who you voted for or why. Don't ask...don't tell. You can be a closet republican as much as you want. We just need to get this administration out....now....together.
trump has a massive ego and will cause civil war by calling out federal troops on anyone at anytime...he is already threatening to do this in Chicago. He is intemperate and, if his ego is involved, I can even see him using nukes on Americans.
Please watch the following video. It is important.
