7 WAYS TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST TRUMPCARE VOTE
————————————————
#VoteThemOut
#ProtectOurCare
We may have lost the vote on TrumpCare in the House – just barely -- but we have only begun to fight.
- Yesterday, 217 Republicans voted for an AHCA bill that: robs healthcare from 24 million Americans; cuts $880 billion from Medicaid; hikes deductibles by $1500 on average; increases premiums up to 750% for older people; denies affordable insurance to millions with a broad range of pre-existing conditions and removes essential benefits from millions more -- including schoolkids with special needs. See more at http://bit.ly/2peiuhx .
- They voted “yes” hoping their constituents’ are willing to sacrifice their own health and lives in the name of partisan political beliefs. Let’s prove them wrong.
To fight back we must:
Send the House a message
Send the Senate a message
Send the President a message
Send the House a message
Send the Senate a message

To fight back:
We call our Reps
We call our Senators
We bombard social media

***ACTION 1: CALL YOUR US REPRESENTATIVE: ***
Find yours: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/
The most effective calls include a personal story about how this issue affects you. Or, adapt our scripts:
SCRIPT FOR EVERYONE BUT WALDEN: “My name is [--] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. Thank you for voting NO on AHCA. I am counting on you to be an outspoken and vocal leader in the fight for our healthcare.”
SCRIPT FOR GREG WALDEN: “My name is [--] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I am appalled that Representative Walden’s was an architect of the AHCA. I will remember his role and his vote come November 2018 (feel free to add personal stories on how this will affect your life).”

***ACTION 2: CALL OUR SENATORS***
***ACTION 2: CALL OUR SENATORS***
SAMPLE SCRIPT:
“My name is [--] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. I am counting on Senator {-} to be an outspoken and vocal leader against the AHCA. There is no amendment that can fix this disastrous bill. Please make sure it dies in the Senate, and work with your colleagues across the aisle to draft legislation to improve—not repeal and replace—the popular Affordable Care Act. “
