Trump golfed as Puerto Ricans died. Instead of taking concrete steps to rebuild and provide clean water to the two million Americans without water in Puerto Rico, Trump decided to do the only two things he understands: picking a Twitter fight, and golfing. Since we cannot rely on Trump to help the people of Puerto […]
The next big fight is brewing over DACA. Republicans on the state level and Donald Trump are threatening to end the program. DACA provides safety for children brought to the US as young children who came out of the shadows as illegal immigrants expecting their government to protect them. We need to tell Congress to […]
As devastating flood waters rose in Texas and Hurricane Harvey came ashore, Trump was busy. Not with preparing for the hurricane, of course. He spent his time pardoning the notorious Sheriff Arpaio, who ran jails where prisoners were denied basic sanitary items and who was convicted of contempt of court for continuing to racially-profile immigrants. […]
Republicans are planning to use Dreamers and DACA recipients as political pawns in their game. DACA recipients are immigrants who came to this country at an early age, and willingly came out of the shadows to be granted protection by President Obama. Now Trump is threatening to renege on America’s promise to these brave individuals […]
Monday, August 21st: It is time for our representatives to take a firm stance against Donald Trump’s championing of hate. Democrats in Congress have introduced a measure to censure Trump. Bob Latta and Rob Portman cannot just condemn the white supremacy on display in Charlottesville; they must also condemn the man in the White House who […]
Now that we have defeated Trumpcare, it is time to protect Obamacare from Trump. Trump is actively threatening to sabotage Obamacare by cutting off funds to the exchanges that help insurers protect poor people. We need to call Bob Latta and Rob Portman, and tell them to keep their commitment to driving down premiums by […]
Monday, July 31st: First: CONGRATULATIONS. We did it- we stopped Trumpcare. Obamacare remains the law of the land. And it is all thanks to YOU. It is your activism, your phone calls, your visits to Portman and Latta’s offices, your protests and rallies, that accomplished this remarkable victory. The next big battle will be over […]
Update on the total mess known as the repeal of Obamacare: the straight-up repeal has been rejected by the Republicans (and by Rob Portman- maybe he has finally found his spine)? Republicans are now trying to pass what they call a “skinny repeal,” which basically consists of any amendment that the Republicans can find 50 […]
Tuesday, July 25th: Today is the big day. Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republicans will vote on repealing (and replacing?) Obamacare. We have no idea what will happen. Really. Even Mitch McConnell doesn’t know what will happen (here is an explainer-you might need a flowchart . You need to send Rob Portman one […]
48 hours. That is all we have until Mitch McConnell and the other Senate Republicans vote on Obamacare. We know McConnell is wheeling and dealing behind the scenes to make moderate Republicans waver in their commitment to opposing the bill. Let’s make Portman hear our voices loud and clear. Call Rob Portman. Demand that he […]
