Here's the thing - we've actually won the messaging war here. Only 25% of the population supports the bill. It's the most unpopular piece of legislation (besides the GOP failed attempts to repeal the ACA) in 30 years. We're winning the message war, and people hate this bill, Republican's just don't care what their constituents think or want. They're not in government for the people, they are in it for themselves and their donors.

Hi Endorn - Democrats are doing everything they can to fight back on this terrible bill, but we are outnumbered in the House, Senate and the White House and so if Republicans want to ram this through, unfortunately, they can. Democrats, including Senator Wyden, have been totally united in opposing the bill. The best thing we can do is work hard to make sure Republicans who vote for this bill are held accountable for it.

Like Senator Wyden said - the fight isn't over, and we should continue to push all of our members, especially Senator Collins and Senator Flake. Keep up the fight!

Tax March, along with dozens of groups in DC and across the country, have been organizing events for months. In fact, in the last 2 months, activists have held more than 800 events. Even if this fight doesn't go our way, we will keep fighting and make sure people know how their representatives voted on this bill. You can join us in fighting back at NotOnePenny.org

You're right -- the GOP is pretty comfortable with lying. It's like they never learned basic rights and wrongs. The fight isn't over though, there is still a chance we could beat this thing and so making calls to your representatives, showing up at their offices, hosting and attending events in your area (visit NotOnePenny) are all still very important. And then we need to all work hard to hold those who vote for this terrible bill accountable and make them pay for voting for their donors not their constituents.
