There's a fair chance that TrumpDontCare could fail to pass.

Just a fair chance, but a chance worth exploiting. Wherever you are, if you have House members or Senators who are Republicans, please communicate with them and encourage them to vote against the plan. Not all can be convinced, of course, but a number of Senators and House members are vulnerable in the next election and may be swayed.

Tell them to vote NO. Tell them why they should vote NO. If you will be personally affected, tell them how you will be effected.

Call them, email them, fax them or send them a letter. But don't miss this opportunity to block this travesty.

Thank you.

apart. Then Republicans will say, "See? We told you! And only WE can now be your saviors."

last November. Right now, the best we can do is to try to limit the damage, frankly. If we can take back one house of Congress in 2018, we'll be able to do more, but for now, all we can do is try to prevent utter disaster. We're still going to get slammed, though.

That is the reality of what came to pass last November.
