It just takes people to be brave and vote against the bill for the greater good of making sure people don’t lose their health care and have working families pay more in taxes.

The audacity to characterize this colossal wealth transfer as being something other than a tax cut for the rich is breathtaking. To deny it greatly increases the national debt while simultaneously reducing services is breathtaking. To claim it will make average Americans more prosperous is incredible. But all these assertions are sold with conviction by the MAGA-sphere cheerleaders…and for the moment they are in charge. When the effects of this become real and people are turned away from their closed hospital, when their state is overwhelmed by a tornado or hurricane, and the actual suffering sets in, will the check engine light go on then? When that happens will the voters decide to take their anger out on the ones who did this?

Thanks Senator Murphy! Keep informing us and encouraging critical thinking, to seek truth and not take things at face value.

If I couldn't vote to protect my constituents, I'd give up my seat too. Why play games?

I hope and pray that Senator Chris Murphy is correct, and this abomination of a bill will not pass. Surely there are enough decent Republicans in Congress who do not agree with Trumps' reckless agenda that they will put aside any fear they have of his reprisal against them, and they will choose DO THE RIGHT THING for the people of our nation!!!!!!!

If this steamin’ pile passes this country as a democracy is toast.

I would expect a response that would include ‘violence’ against those instrumental in passing it from the people most affected and it would be justified.

I think that even though it’s unpopular, it will still pass. Republicans know that there will no longer be any semblance of a fair election (or any elections at all) in the future and that their seats are locked in.

I’m worn down. I’m trying to stay positive. I still call and/or write my Republican rep and two Democratic senators several times a week. I attend every protest I can. Millions of us have been doing the same, but it feels as if it’s not making a difference. The felon just keeps doing more every single day to kill our democracy.

I'm sorry and I know that feeling!! I applaud you for all you're doing!! I think it's the 'small people' like us that will end up truly making a difference, but your self-care is most important. Do what you can but don't forget to take care of yourself in any way that helps. You.Are.Appreciated. 💙

Thank you. You are appreciated as well.

Yes, I think I probably need to take a “news break” for at least a day. My emotional well-being is very weak right now.

Unfortunately, I think it will pass. When the cult looses heathcare coverage, the stuff will really hit the fan! I just do not understand why the bill is a thing for endless years!

This bill leaves us so vulnerable as a nation. I can’t believe that they don’t care how weak this makes our country, financially, economically, physically unhealthy. It’s a tragedy in the making.

By their votes on this bill, Republican members of Congress will reveal their true colors, whether they are with their constituents and the nation or for themselves. All will be revealed with this one vote. Let the chips fall as they may. I promise you, this is one American voters will not forget.
