GOOD MORNING chiclets. As you may have heard, today Congressional Republicans will try to ram through their irresponsible slapdash garbage “healthcare” bill, which will make it even more difficult for poor people to afford getting sick, but on the bright side*, will BIGLY cut taxes for people making over $200k!!! (*I’m being sarcastic. This is not a bright side.)

Fun fact: A 64-year-old making $26,500 would be responsible for $14,600 in premiums under the proposed Republican “American Health Care Act.” Under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), the same person would pay $1,700. Haha.

So guess what! This is a good morning to take two minutes to call your representative to register your opposition to this toxic nonsense bill and affirm your support for your friends, neighbors and countrypeople on Obamacare. The Indivisible Guide has some great scripts with sample dialogue depending on your rep’s stated position. You could also just take the paragraph approach:

Hi, my name is [your name] and I’m a constituent from [your town]. I’m calling to register my opposition to repealing the ACA and replacing it with this slapdash Republican health care bill, which will strip millions of people of lifesaving coverage. The ACA is important to me personally because [I am on Obamacare, I have family/friends/neighbors/students/patients/coworkers on Obamacare; a short personal anecdote is always effective]. 

If Congress[wo]man [Rep’s name] votes in favor of this bill, it will be a disaster for American healthcare and her/his constituents will remember that in the next election. Could you pass that on to the Congress[wo]man? [wait for them to say yes.] Thanks for your time. 

Here’s me and my roommate calling our congressman.

see? its so easy even this idiot can do it. great job everybody. way to save america.

1. YOU DID IT, 2. Is there any sweeter phrase in the English language than “humiliating defeat for President Trump?” I can’t think of one.
