These Senators are allegedly 'on the fence' about the Tax Scam. CALL NOW if one is yours.

[CousinIT]

They'll be voting tonight or tomorrow. NO TIME to waste!

1. Kick out of pure desperation, fuck a bunch of evil puke senators!!!

[BigDemVoter]

2. I thought McCain, the "Maverick" was already on board for the give away to the rich?

Add ND Heidi Heitkamp to that list. She's on the fence in her deep Red State.
A no vote means her job is on the line.

A yes means she may as well be a repub

[bluestarone]

15. yep

she votes NO i might vote for her BUT yes i'm done with her

[sprinkleeninow]

23. Emailed Sen. Shumer to have a 'talk' with

Senators Manchin and Heitkamp as I understood them to maybe considering a yes vote on the egregious tax scam bill.
We shall see.

[Wwcd]

24. Thanks. We do what we can.

[sprinkleeninow]

25. 🕯

[Wwcd]

3. Big Thanks for posting this CousinIT

[CrispyQ]

5. They will pass it, partly because they are tired of looking like they're totally incompetent.

They control most of govt & still can't get anything done. Also, not enough people are calling about this, like they did against cutting the ACA.

[Poiuyt]

14. So they can pass it and remove all doubt

[VMA131Marine]

6. It's not the end of the world if it passes ...

the bill still has to go through reconciliation (because it is so different from the House version) and then be approved by votes in both chambers. I don't expect that the House will reject the reconciliation bill, but there will be time to work on those wavering in the Senate.

[unblock]

9. not really. if we manage to change a few senators' minds the house will just pass the senate version

the house might not be thrilled with the senate version, but they would find passing it as is would be vastly preferred over letting the whole thing collapse.

we have to convince senators before the pass any tax bill at all.

[bluestarone]

16. this is

what concerns me

[Ilsa]

35. ITA. And the gop is desperate to pass something,

so they will make it past the last hurdle if it passes the senate.

This bill is obscene. No discussion, no one is talking about the stuff in it, like independent truck drivers will need to incorporate to deduct fuel costs, teachers lose their tax credit for out of pocket supplies expenditures, etc.

[madamesilverspurs]

7. I've called beyond what I can afford.

I don't have unlimited minutes. And if they get their way, many of us won't be able to afford much of anything.

So, yes, PLEASE keep calling if you can!

And thank you for doing so.

29. Do you have to use data. Can't you use wifi.

[dawg day]

31. The What's App lets you make long-distance calls by wifi

It's free.

And why doesn't the Senate have an 800 number, come to think of it?
Probably because they don't want people calling.
Same as the always full mailboxes of my congressperson.

[pangaia]

32. True. I use WhatsApp, Wechat, Kakao Talk, Viber,

depending on whom I am calling. But the recepient must have the app as well.

[Horizens]

8. Call Them All

I've called or emailed everyone on the list at least two times and plan for more. Look, the bill is probably going to pass but it ain't over till the fat lady sings. If nothing else, we'll let them know that they're not fooling us with their BS.

A sample of what I write ..

SENATE TAX CUT WILL INCREASE FEDERAL DEFICIT BY $1 TRILLION OVER A DECADE
“The congressional Joint Committee on Taxation said Wednesday afternoon that the Senate tax bill would add $1 trillion to federal budget deficits over the next decade, EVEN AFTER accounting for additional economic growth, a major blow to Republicans’ contention that the $1.5 trillion tax cuts in the bill will pay for themselves through growth.
The committee, which serves as the scorekeeper for growth and revenue estimates in tax bills, estimated that the Senate bill would boost economic growth by 0.8 percent over a decade. Republicans have said they expect substantially stronger growth than that to result from the tax cuts”.
All those years Republicans ranted about the deficit. Were you sincere or not? We'll find out.

[Lifelong Protester]

10. Called.

Ron Johnson is (unfortunately) my senator.

[bobbieinok]

11. Called Lankford at Tulsa number

Line was not busy. Pleasant young woman answered.

Emphsized concerns about Medicare, grad students.

He's a So Bapt minister. I emphsized our common concerns as Christians for those in need and how bill will harm many, many in OK.

[LeftInTX]

12. Just got back from my senator's office

Won't make a dent, but they know I drove downtown and paid $$ to park..and that I take the issue very seriously.

[Orangeutan]

13. Some possible suggestions

Keep the message short and sweet, and focus on just one objectionable provision of the bill, whether it be grad students or Medicare or the deficit. Make that point strongly, and let someone else hit a different point.

[gratuitous]

18. This times 10

Also, don't yell at the poor schlub who picks up the phone. Make your point quickly and politely, then clear the line for the next caller.

[orangecrush]

17. K&R

[spanone]

19. Done K&R...

[BigmanPigman]

20. I called all of them today and had to leave messages

with all of them. Murkowski was also on my list. Is it too late to call tonight?

[33taw]

21. Ron Johnson's mailboxes are full.

[certainot]

22. the way to stop them is to scare all of them - by protesting the RW radio stations

they need to elect them and keep them in office.

[chillfactor]

26. Both of my senators (NM)...

are against the recon tax bill.

[oasis]

27. Impotant Kick for exposure.

[RandySF]

28. McCain is a yes.

[dawg day]

30. Called Todd Young

He's pretty much standard RWNJ, so I left a message saying the tax bill would explode the deficit. That's all. I tried to sound like someone who might conceivably have once voted for him.

[Alice11111]

33. I called friends in their districts andcalled some myself.

If Conyers is in the hospital, he can't vote. Should have delayed calling for his resignation a few days.

[cilla4progress]

34. Done (again)

I don't worry about whether I am in state or not; lucky - I have 2 Dem women senators - Murray and Cantwell!


Do we know how or if these calls are tallied?

[Ilsa]

36. Called multi-millionaire Sen. David Perdue yesterday.

Not that it will help. Nice young lady listened to my old lady speech quoting Rubio cutting Social Security and Medicare, that during my lifetime, corporate pensions are gone, our retirement savings keeps getting stolen on Wall St and now congress wants to give my earned SSI benefits to billionaires.
