Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sent a letter Saturday, calling on Democratic Senators to lead rallies in their states in support of the Affordable Care Act later this month.
The letter, addressed to their Senate colleagues, encouraged a grassroots movement in support of the health care law, emphasizing how “critical” it is to seize the “momentum” of public opinion in support of the law and plan rallies for February 25th.
“The Republican Party’s plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act is in chaos,” the letter reads. “Public support for the law is at an all-time high, while the number of Americans supporting its immediate repeal without a replacement has dipped below 15 percent. It is critical we seize this momentum.”
The calls for these rallies comes amidst frequent protests at town halls for Republican lawmakers, with many at those protests speaking passionately about the need to keep Obamacare, or replace it with a comprehensive alternative immediately.
The letter notes that that similar rallies were planned by Schumer and Sanders in mid January.
Hold on, I still have to send my W-9 to George Soros…
Chaos is not what voters want. It is all the R-as-Putin agents have. Dems might gain a bit by helping people express their displeasure.
Let’s not stop there. Seems like an opportune time to advocate for Medicare for all or the public option.
Let’s really force Republicans to the defensive.
Heck, even Trump is on the record advocating insurance for all.
Hey, GOP what have you got after six years? Bupkis!
What about holding pro-Obamacare rally’s too? Why just ACA? RIGGED! /s
