Week 27: Third time, hopefully not the charm

No matter how much madness, this week offers the Senate yet another chance to kill the ACA. Senator McConnell is looking for a loopy way around 51 votes. And the Senate Parliamentarian is challenging key provisions in the bill, further complicating the situation. Meanwhile, Senator Portman’s vote remains pivotal. Let’s make sure a healthcare vote does NOT go to the floor.

HAVE A CONVERSATION

The Politics Group Happy Hour at MadTree is hosted by the Cincinnati and Kentucky Enquirer. If a diverse group shows up we can practice a way of listening and talking we all need to learn. Remember, we’re here because enough people in enough states voted for someone who promised to further break a broken system. Our focus on Congress is critical but it’s not enough. 

STAY TUNED

If Robert Mueller is fired, be ready to peacefully gather in the streets. If we are facing a Constitutional crisis, it might be good to brush up on the U.S. Constitution. It’s a quick read! And as you contact your MoCs about healthcare, add a few words about country over party.
