If you spent the last week protesting the #TaxScamBill, calling, faxing, writing your senators every day, don’t despair.

You did the right thing.

This is a war to save democracy. Last night was a battle. If you’re still fighting, it’s not over.

Here’s what to do next.
First, don’t stop calling. Don’t stop faxing. Don’t stop going to protests.

Republicans need to KNOW what a big mistake they just made.

They need to KNOW you saw them. And you’re not letting them get away with it. And you vote.
Second. This bill isn’t on Trump’s desk yet. It goes to conference next.

I don’t know if we can stop it. But even if we can’t, we can kill parts of it.

Last night Democrats killed the #HillsdaleHandout AND the personhood clause.

Priority one should be killing mandate repeal.
Third. If there is any chance of stopping the whole thing, it may hinge on the continuing resolution next week.

GOP fear they may not have the votes to keep the government open on their own. They may soon learn the downside of trying to pass things with only one party caucus.
So if you have a Democratic lawmakers in Congress, call them and let them know if Republicans ask them for a budget vote, their condition should be tabling the tax scam. Non-negotiable. Line in the sand.
