(From Indivisible Austin)
Working against the September 30th deadline for the budget reconciliation instructions, Senate republicans are trying once again to ram a repeal bill through the Senate. After some members of the Senate called for regular order – a public process with committee hearings, expert testimony and opportunity to offer amendments – the Senate Finance Committee will meet on Monday, September 25th at 2:00pm EDT in a hastily thrown together attempt at “regular order.” However, without a full CBO score detailing the impact on how many consumers will lose coverage and with no time for actual debate, this hearing is nothing more than a distraction from what is really happening: the latest attempt to gut Medicaid and strip health care from millions of Americans.
The hearing record needs to be filled with strong statements of opposition from organizations and individuals!
Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Sen. Bill Cassidy’s condescending rebuke that the comedian didn’t understand his bill…
Got a postcard? Say “Thanks” to Jimmy for taking time to do this here:

So much for the entertainment portion of our post…back to business.
We’ve tried to compile all the best ways to communicate with legislators that this is a really bad idea…If you know of a method we’ve missed, please send it in.
I’ve noted that I’m getting through easily on their lines! We must call our BLUE senators so they have big call tallies to show their RED state colleagues!
Minimal Script: Hi. I’m from [ZIP] calling to ask Senators [___] to oppose the Cassidy-Graham ACA repeal plan. Congress needs to improve the Affordable Care Act, not repeal it and leave millions of people without options. Thanks!
Senator Feinstein: DC (202) 224-3841, LA (310) 914-7300, SF (415) 393-0707, SD (619) 231-9712, Fresno (559) 485-7430
Senator Harris: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (559) 497-5109, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

For those who missed this yesterday, take a moment and mentally thank Jimmy Kimmel for taking time out of his show for this!
Here’s another good video. Remind these senators what they said the last time our health care was at risk.

With the bi-partisan healthcare group disbanded, GOP members are more motivated than ever to pass their horrible Cassidy/Graham bill.
Give your representatives the courage of your convictions! Call and ask them to do the right thing.

This just in… “Overnight Health Care: GOP chairman declares bipartisan ObamaCare fix dead, Trump to make ObamaCare payments for September/Graham predicts 50 votes for ObamaCare repeal bill.” (The Hill)
FACT #1: You must be their constituent to be counted.
FACT #2: It’s bad optics if BLUE voters flood RED senators’ lines
FACT #3: Also, it’s a waste of precious time. See Fact #1
FACT #4: There’s no law against encouraging their people to call…
The following is from the national INDIVISIBLE group.
Your tireless (and loud!) constituent power killed TrumpCare in July. And now, millions of people are depending on you to do it again. But if you live in a state with two Democratic Senators who oppose the ACA, you may be asking yourself: what more can I do? How can I influence persuadable Republicans in red states who may be on the fence?
Well, we have an answer! We’re bringing back the blue state/red state calling tool from the last healthcare fight. Continue reading “They almost have the 50 votes!”
As more details come out about their plan, we are stunned to find it’s more devastating than the ones that came before…
Call every day, or until they stop.

This weekend will only have Good News and some helpful links for both DACA and SB 54. We don’t need a recap to know that this has been an incredibly hard week. For those of you who are still waiting, toe poised above the water…
“The civil rights movement was messy, disorderly, confrontational and yes, sometimes violent. Those standing on the sidelines of the current racial-justice movement, waiting for a pristine or flawless exercise of righteous protest, will have a long wait. They, we suspect, will be this generation’s version of the millions who claim that they were one of the thousands who marched with Dr. King. Each of us should realize that what we do now is most likely what we would have done during those celebrated protests 50 years ago. Rather than critique from afar, come out of your homes, follow those who are closest to the pain, and help us to redeem this country, and yourselves, in the process.”
