Supposedly Mike Johnson inserted wording in the reconciliation bill to sell 500,000 acres of National Park lands!!!

People instead are paying lots of attention to the Medicaid issues and the $400 million Qatar plane,

‘Flooding the attention zone!’

Wrote 100 postcards to voters in Ciscomani's district to encourage them to call him re: Medicaid funding. As one of his constituents, I called his D.C. office and left a message; his Tucson voicemail was full, which tells me people are all over his case.

Thanks for your commitment! I call his office daily as well. Now I’m visiting Cisco’s office 1-2 times a month. Zero faith in him.

That is exactly what I have been telling my rep's. The uninsured

will avoid preventative care and end up in the ER with critical needs.

How do you put heat on a Maga Republican like Elise Stefanik? She is a ghost in our district and a sycophant of Trump. She sometimes does something useful stateside, but is a Congresswoman who more often votes against her constituents best interests.

Please don't substitute videos for your emails. I don't have the time to watch them or listen to them. I can't clip and paste from them. They're useless to me.

While I agree with you that I also don't have time to watch nor listen to the videos (and I don't), I think you misunderstood the goal, which I believe for Jess is that the videos *supplement* the regular emails, not replace them. They may be useless to you but videos for some people (or audio presentations) are the only format from which some people can get their information. Those with vision impairments, for example.

Anyway, just another point of view to consider.

What’s the deal with this anti-protest provision that was snuck into the Republican’s budget bill? It’s really scary to me.

This system that we have that ties health care to a job is another way of telling us we really only matter if we are "producing" for the wealthy and even then they do their best to withhold as much as possible.

Thank you Jessica for all of this information. I printed it out this will all be good to have. I rally would like to share this with my family and friends but, they all put their heads in the sand and don't want anything to do with it! So I will continue to Call, Protest and be Heard alone. I was not to happy to find out that I am surrounded by a bunch of Ostrich's!! It pisses me off everyday!
