MANY WAYS TO RESIST TRUMPCARE OVER THE JULY 4TH RECESS


Trumpcare is on life support. The Republicans were hoping to spare themselves a July 4th recess of bad headlines, protests and souring public opinion. No such luck! We've got this whole week to expose this bill for what it is: a massive tax giveaway to the rich, stealing coverage from tens of millions of Americans. Make no mistake, Mitch and his minions are desperate to salvage the bill. We can't let that happen.

Assorted links to resistance activities follow. Please share this post with your friends in West Virginia, Maine, Texas, Nevada, Wisconsin, Utah, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana, Alaska, and Nebraska.
