The ACA fight isn't over. It's just begun. Get on the phone!

Contact your representative and both your senators EVERY DAY. Demand that no funding cuts or legislative outs be enacted with respect to Obamacare. Demand that the individual mandate be retained. If your state opted out, call the governor too and tell them all that you want them to opt in.

If you live in a Democratic state, tell all of them that you want to see them publicly united and loudly calling for Medicare for all. Tell them it is a major consideration for your next vote.

If you live in a Republican state, tell them that you will mobilize against them if you see any efforts to weaken Obamacare and no efforts to strengthen it. They will believe you in this climate.

And while you're on the phone, tell them you demand a public hearing and independent investigation on the Trump/Russia connection. If your rep is Republican, tell them that if you don't see them publicly calling for an independent investigation, you'll assume they're part of the cover-up.

The best time to make the big push is when you have the advantage. Push!

Resist Bot.. text RESIST to 50409 and they will send your personally composed fax to one specifically or all your state reps when ever you tell them to. I sent one to my states GOP rep several times an hour yesterday. Its free but I donate anyway. Its more important now than ever!
