Let's get a list of Repubs who look moveable.

On ANY issue. The more air that appears between Trump and congress, the better for our country. Please reply with names and whatever you know. It can be a one issue thing.

mvd posted this in response to in another thread where I pointed out Susan Collins of Maine.

So I have my hopes. All the others - McCain, Rubio, Graham, Hatch, Alexander, etc. - are likely only to be ok on targeted issues only. I hope with Trump starting out in such a mess already that the Repukes will be more likely to go against him and work with us. But considering the party's history of party over country, it is only a hope.

For those worried about ACA coverage for themselves and their families. After hearing about the midnight repeal of the pre-existing conditions clause, I called Senator Warren's office. The woman I spoke to said they are being flooded with calls, as are the offices of Speakers Ryan and McConnell.Senator Warren's staff member told me what would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from the GOP to demand a slow down of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and share your story.

IMPORTANT: Please copy and paste. Please DO NOT just share. If you just hit "share" others will not be able to see your post (aside from mutual friends).

They are:
Senator Bob Corker - (202) 224-3344
Senator Lisa Murkowski - (202) 224-6665
Senator Rob Portman - (202) 224-3353
Senator Susan Collins - (202) 224-2523
Senator Bill Cassidy - (202) 224-5824

Here are the states they are from, so you can contact friends and relatives who are their constituents. Constituents are WAY more persuasive than out of state calls.

Senator Bob Corker - (202) 224-3344 - TN
Senator Lisa Murkowski - (202) 224-6665 - AK
Senator Rob Portman - (202) 224-3353 - OH

Senator Bill Cassidy - (202) 224-5824 - LA
