I do not know how we do it but GOPPERS have to scared shitless over ACA repeal. You would hope they would listen. I see little sign they will at this point based on the votes already cast. I also see no signs based on how they are acting in their districts.
Coffman in Colorado as well as all the other GOPPER legislatros will run and hide. They will have ONLY private secured meetings where only they have their rabid supporters. They will just stay in their gated communities or country clubs.
They won't associate with regular "rabble". They view critics and protesters as no more than planted thugs. In the end they will vote for repeal no matter how much protest. They are in a "See evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," mode with hands over ears and eyes shut.
Yes I am cynical. I have every reason to be just being around some GOPPERS I know. They don't like ACA even if they have it. We live in a very twisted time where reality and fact mean absolutely nothing at all.

(10,602 posts)GOPPERS have most likely turned their phones off. That is ok because they still cannot ignore the fact that if they turn anything on it will melt.
Look up their contact page for local numbers. If the vmail at the office closest to you is full, try another office. Put your Congresscritters on your cell phone. I like to write out what I'm going to say before I call. Be courteous, but passionate! Once you write it out, you just as well mail it, too. Send snail mail to local offices, not DC. Security ties up mail in DC for weeks. Post on their FB/Twitter accounts, too.
The only time Congress listens to We The People is when We The People speak out in volumes.

Crowd let her know real quick why they were there.

(55,894 posts)Supposedly the next DNC chair will be working on it. Congressional Democrats/Schumer BETTER be working on it.
Please don't spread your toxic defeatism here on DU.

We're depriving them of the joy it gives them to shove their arrogance up our noses. Keeping them on the run is important.
