Day 160:

Even if you live in a blue state call your senators, multiple times, every day.

If you live in a blue state, and your senator is not going to vote for the Republican Tax Cut health care bill, great!  But its almost certain that your senator is not fighting as hard as they can.  Are they coming out in support of single payer?  Are they doing EVERYTHING they can to stop the bill, are they using every procedural trick, going on every media outlet?  Probably not, so you need to call them up and make sure they know you want them to:

1. Save the ACA, and keep the republican tax cut health care bill from passing

2. Support single payer health care for all, and fight hard to make it a legal reality.
