Well maybe the all talk and no action should do some resisting. Al Green acted; he should be a model for the wimps that sit in their congressional offices and let this ignorant, traitorous dolt alone with his billionaire lap dogs destroy our country.

Last week, Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and take away healthcare from 8-year-old kids like William.

Don’t let them lie to you. This is what they voted for.

But we still have a chance to stop it.

The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.

Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

The GOP wants to TAKE AWAY healthcare from 72 MIL people! This will lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated illnesses, and unnecessary deaths.
All to fund tax breaks for the rich.

These are the same folks that have been trying to pass legislation that forces women to give birth.

Our pathological liar president is called out. Why is our press corp and the white house correspondents saying very little or nothing? They should do their job and speak out about the unreality of the dolt.
