The vast majority of house bills never make it to the senate. If they do, bills like eliminating the epa will surely be fillibustered. There is already a boatload of house bills that have yet to even be considered by the senate.

We need to light a fire under Senate Dems.

Never Give Up! Never Surrender! Fight to for what's right, WIN or LOSE. We cannot tolerate any more of their preemptive surrender (Can't win, so don't fight) shit.

No compromises with any part of the DT/right-wingnut agenda.
