WE TAKING ACTION: CHECK OUT THIS SUPER USEFUL NEW TOOL
Put this on your desktop. Give it a test ride by using it to thank your Senators and/or the GOP Senate Heroes from Maine, Alaska and Arizona for last week’s Obamacare repeal votes. Keep it handy, because you’re going to need it to let your MoCs know what you think about lowering taxes on the rich, deporting immigrants, waging war on the poor, privatizing public education, and whatever other mean-spirited actions 45 and the Tea Party Congress have on their plates.
