![]() Republicans just rammed one of the most appalling pieces of legislation in my lifetime through Congress. Despite the fact that it will throw over 17 millions of people across this country off their health care and over 198,000 right here in Oregon. Despite the fact it will add $5 trillion to our national debt. Despite the fact that it will hike our energy bills and cause kids to lose access to healthy meals. Despite the fact that anyone who had spent even a small amount of time listening to their constituents could see that the American people strongly oppose this bill — and fear what it will mean for their families. The GOP majority in Congress has shown that they are simply not fighting on the side of working families. Their focus is helping out their billionaire friends and showing blind loyalty to Donald Trump. And we need to end their grip on power in Washington.
Let me be clear: this is an infuriating and devastating week for our country. But it’s not the end of this fight. Now is the moment for all of us to get up off the ground — and work to hold the politicians who are inflicting this disaster on the country accountable at the ballot box. That starts with flipping the House blue next year. I’m all in on that fight, and if you are too, here’s a link to pitch in: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/salinasq32025 More to come, Andrea |
