2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumfrom MoveOn:
We won! A federal judge just ruled that we can keep up our billboard criticizing tea party Governor Bobby Jindal for standing between 242,000 Louisianans and Medicaid.
(Quick recap: Republican governors and legislators are blocking a shocking 5 million Americans from accessing health care by refusing to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid. When we put up billboards in nine states calling out Republicans for standing in the way of health care, the state of Louisiana sued us, demanding we take down one of the billboards. But today, the judge issued a preliminary decision that allows our billboard to stay up and paves the way for the whole lawsuit to end with a victory).
But here's the funny part: When we first put up the billboard, we reserved the space for only a monthand had no idea we'd be facing a lawsuit. Now, even though our billboard can legally stay up, financially it will have to come down soonunless we extend our buy.
Chip in to help us ensure our winning billboard will stay up.
