I called my Representative (Ryan Costello - R) about the tax bill

Was civil and told him about how it would help the rich and hurt the middle class. Said what a disaster it would be for the country. The office thanked me for the call and asked for my zip code. Not much else happened. I have a feeling his office is getting a lot of calls. How are your calls going?

Good for YOU! I have had to leave voice mails for a week now. Keep up the good work. Can you share this experience with family and friends on social media? We are supposed to do that...The Resistance organizers said this past weekend that this part is crucial since the MSM has been distracted. They are finally getting on board and showing the protests, etc. You are fantastic!

Thanks! Costello voted for the tax scam but hasn't committed to voting for the reconciliation bill. So there is still a chance.

the backlash. That is why they are cramming it through when it still a mess. They are scared and that is great!

marco rubios' website is down for maintenance and his voice mail is currently full. Gee, I wish he'd hold a town hall in St Petersburg Florida. I'd even provide the water for his thirsty self.

This proves everything I have been hearing is true. They ARE scared because they know this bill sucks. If they think we will forget about this and the ACA when election time rolls around they are wrong. Oh well, their donors are happy for now but if they don't get re-elected they aren't going to have doners to please. SO SAD!
