Two days past the Ides of September. My how time flies.

 

110 events! One hundred and ten events! This thing keeps getting bigger. As does the need, unfortunately. (Last updated, Thursday, September 21,  quite a few more events)

Wait, a call to action to amplify:

When Health Care is Under Attack, What do we do?

SHOW UP, FIGHT BACK!

*Please share this information far and wide*

The Senate Finance Committee will be holding a hearing on the Graham Cassidy bill on Monday at 2 pm EST (11 am PST)

The hearing record needs to be filled with strong statements of opposition from organizations and individuals with stories of the devastating impact this would have on people, including people with disabilities and pre-existing conditions.

Starting around 11 am ET (8 am PST) today 9/21/2017, the following email address will be active for the public to submit testimony for Monday's hearing on the Graham Cassidy bill:

GCHcomments@finance.senate.gov.

This is where groups and individuals can send letters, testimony, video links, photos, stories, etc. regarding the proposed legislation. Please copy your U.S. Senator when emailing your comments, letters, videos, etc.

Comments to be submitted by 1:00 p.m. ET (10 am PST) on Monday 9/25/2016.
