First off, congratulations. You did it. You helped to stop Trumpcare. You even got Portman to go on record opposing Trumpcare.

We had a very well-attended Ice Cream Social fundraiser for Sherrod Brown. Thanks to the organizers, Melissa Kritzell, Sean Elliott, DeeDee Wentland, and Linda Maya. We raised $1073 to stop Trump’s agenda.
Monday, June 19th: The Republicans are determined to pass their health care bill in secret by July 4th. This makes the following week yet another crucial week for saving Obamacare. I know I am repeating itself, but we must keep the pressure up, especially since Portman is one of, if not the crucial vote in […]

Tuesday, June 13th: Exclusive: I have obtained a public schedule of the hearings for Trumpcare. Here it is: Got that?* The Republicans are planning on only releasing the details of their health care plan a few days before the vote, in […]
