Stand Up Against @realDonaldTrump 's Cynical Sabotage of Our Health Care
After Congress failed to repeal Obamacare, the Trump Administration is now taking matters into their own hands and sabotaging the Affordable Care Act through executive orders. Their latest action will raise premiums and create junk insurance policies with none of the protections that families need.
Watch this video and then call your representatives and tell them to stand up to Trump's sabotage of our health care: 202-224-3121
Stand Up Against @realDonaldTrump 's Cynical Sabotage of Our Health Care #SaveTheACA #Health #Nursing
These back-door moves to undermine health care are stacking up and quickly taking their toll on our health care. President Trump's actions are intentionally causing premiums to skyrocket and could end coverage for those with pre-existing conditions -- threatening the health care of millions of everyday Americans.
Call your Member of Congress and tell them to stand up to sabotage, and we'll hold them accountable for their votes: 202-224-3121
We were successful in preventing Congressional Republicans from stripping away our health care, but we can't let up. We must stop these new attacks and continue to protect our care.

Take a Knee
"... I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world." - Jackie Robinson, 1972
Many are "more dedicated to order than to justice," offended by kneeling during the Anthem & not by racism & modern-day lynching. #TakeAKnee pic.twitter.com/E23oM1ZW6X— The King Center (@TheKingCenter) September 23, 2017
To Trump, the NFL Players are mere property and he is calling out to their “owners” to discipline them for speaking. This sounds familiar.— deray mckesson (@deray) September 24, 2017

Trump tried to intimidate the players into not kneeling. They knelt. He told fans to leave. They stayed. Sad!— Seth Davis (@SethDavisHoops) September 24, 2017
