Folks please contact your congress critter about the cuts in SSDI

this will devastate some folks.
To me this is the most gutless, craven and despicable political act I have ever seen.

If they can't change it they should try to influence those who can.
At the very least they should use their bully pulpits to loudly condemn the craven and despicable rule making.

Include Grassley and Ernst. Remember how she claimed to support SS?

if you want my thoughts on it, look here:

a profit off of said living things.

NOT UNTIL everybody has MY attitude, OUTRAGED, so angry I can barely see straight half the time, ONLY THEN will anything change.

I cant do this by myself folks...I already have had two heart attacks, the last one a direct result of actions by a rightwinger against my ability to survive.

Not kidding

I fear it is going to get a lot worse before people wake up and realize what the Republicans have wrought.

She did not say a word about SSDI. I am unsure of her beliefs on this. She is a DINO so who knows.

She is the one who made national news with an ad about castrating hogs that made all Republicans just get all quivery.

My message is to make sure folks write the likes of her and Grassley to let them know that it is her party and she is as responsible as any other 'R' clown.

the new rules have me quite upset.
What also has me quite upset is Loebsack voting like a damned republican last week.

I agree with you on Loebsack and other Democratic politicians. It is starting so unfair. The Republicans stopped everything for six years and so far they aren't even making it uncomfortable for the Repugs. So frustrating!!!!!

True heroes of the republic. More bad news for my home. Cancer treatments will swallow our max out of pocket in January. CoOpportunity gets its funding pulled, dumps us and we get to start over again in Feb. at Coventry. Now GOP wants more lucre for their masters squeezed from the least of us.

Republicans are there to make sure government does not work, then to blame it on Obama (or any other Dem in charge).
