We must keep making calls even with two Democratic state senators. Give them a call and tell them to keep doing everything they can to make sure this bill does not pass.
Republican Senators at Odds Ahead of Final Push for Health Bill Senate Republicans clashed Sunday about the path forward for their stalled health-care bill, with passage of any plan before the August congressional recess in doubt and rival factions trying to pull it in opposite directions.

We have reached a pivotal moment in American history. The time for you to resist is NOW.
The 13 male senate republicans who have been working on "health care" behind closed doors have finally unveiled their bill. And it is simply disastrous.
Everyone in America should be absolutely outraged by this inhumane and cruel bill.
CALL your senators TODAY. Demand that they kill the bill. Say that you deserve more from your government. Say what this horrible bill would do to you and your family.

Resistance fatigue is a real thing. But we must be relentless in letting our members of congress know that we are watching them and that we need them to fight for us.
Try switching up your routine. Do you normally make calls? Give Resistbot a try. It turns your texts into faxes and is very easy to use! Just text "RESIST" to 50409 to get started.
We suggest writing about the Republican health care bill! Check out an example from one of our resisters below! 💪

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thank you all for calling in! The NY State Assembly passed the New York Health Act, which guarantees universal healthcare to all New York residents!
Only ONE more State Senator co-sponsor is needed to have a majority in support of the NY Health Act. If you can, please take 5 mins out of your day and call your State Senator at (518) 455-2800 and urge them to cosponsor S4840, the New York Health Act.
Find your State Senator here: https://www.nysenate.gov/find-my-senator
Even if your Senator is a cosponsor, calls are important to make sure that they show up for the vote and keep their commitment.
What to say? Your message can be very simple: "My name is _______. I am a constituent calling from ________ to urge State Senator ____________ to vote YES in support of the New York Health Act, S4840 when the bill comes up for a vote in the Senate. This is a very important bill that will guarantee healthcare to ALL New Yorkers. Do you know if they plan to support the bill?"
Together, we WILL make a difference.
