Everyone must keep emailing their Senators and Representatives.
DON’T STOP telling them to fight this - to be brave and do the right thing!
Bravery is contagious.
Be the face of what is right.
We are hitting them all..RNC, NRCC, NRSC, state orgs, senators and congress reps!!!
FIGHT!
I agree.
I think we should make the phone calls. It won’t hurt and it just takes a few minutes to dial them up. We should at least give them the opportunity to do the right thing. If they fail, then at least we’ve done OUR job.
“Everyone must keep emailing their Senators and Representatives.”
Thank you for the reminder. I just emailed Senator Nelson D,FL and Senator Rubio, R(Sort-of), FL. The note to Nelson was especially difficult. I don’t think it will do any good unless they’re wavering. Here’s my note to Nelson.
Dear Senator Nelson,
I understand you’re a Democrat and that you voted for Obamacare. All of us make mistakes. Now that we clearly understand how damaging this “we-must-pass-the-bill-to-see-what-is-in-it” legislation is, I urge you to reconsider and vote to defund it. The damage caused by this legislation is real and ongoing. It will force Americans to work fewer hours and to continue working well into our old age. Please vote to defund this damaging legislation now.
Kind regards,
"Any Republican who votes for cloture is voting to fund Obamacare."
ALEXANDRIA, VA — Today, the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) called on Senate Republicans to oppose cloture on Harry Reid's attempt to fund Obamacare with a simple majority.
SCF Executive Director, Matt Hoskins, made the following statement:
"Americans won a major victory today when the House passed legislation to fund the government without funding Obamacare, but now the debate shifts to the Senate where Harry Reid and the Democrats will try to fund Obamacare. The Democrats have a plan to fund Obamacare, but Republicans can stop it if they stick together.
"Harry Reid needs 60 votes to approve his plan to fund Obamacare. If 41 Republicans stand strong and oppose cloture, they can defeat Reid's plan to fund Obamacare. However, if Republicans waffle and vote for cloture, it will grease the skids for Reid's plan to fund Obamacare. It's pretty simple — any Republican who votes for cloture is voting to fund Obamacare.
"This is a critical test for Senate Republicans and especially for Mitch McConnell, the Republican Leader. It's time for Mitch McConnell to show some leadership and deliver the 41 votes needed to defeat cloture on Harry Reid's plan to fund Obamacare. Republicans like to say they are against Obamacare, but now is the time to prove it. Now is when it matters."
Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) is an independent, grassroots organization that advocates for conservative policies in Washington and helps elect true conservative leaders to the United States Senate.
From Senate Conservatives...
Democratic Leader Harry Reid needs 60 votes to fund Obamacare, but there are only 54 Democrats in the Senate. If Republicans hold strong, they can stop it.
Tell the Republicans to sign Senator Mike Lee's letter pledging to OPPOSE the government spending bill ("CR") if it funds Obamacare.
NOTE: If they say they SUPPORT bills to defund Obamacare, that does not help us because those bills won't be considered and don't have to pass. We need them to OPPOSE the CR if it funds Obamacare. The CR must be passed in September and it is our only point of leverage.
