If these are your representatives, stop what you’re doing and contact them to express your displeasure of their support for this bill.
At least then you can say you did something even if they (likely) ignore the fuck out of your concerns. Talking about it on the internet to bring awareness is great, but reaching out to your representatives directly is what may actually make change.
Shaheen doesn’t give a fuck about her constituents… moot point.
What?
Shaheen is my state representative, and not the best representative towards the people of NH. She’s also not up for re-election, overly concerned about backlash, and apparently likes the taste of corporate cake-hole more than her constituents.
Of course Fetterman and Schumer are on this list.
Tbf none are a surprise or un expected from them
Clarification I think is needed. This was only a vote to move the bill forward, it has not been voted on to pass. This is the time to put the pressure on to Democrats to push for the items that the American people want, and push back on special interests (specifically oil companies).
Getting this through cloture allows Democrats to publically debate and fight. Not doing so leaves it in the back room and obfuscates the Trump/MAGA agenda. The next hurdle is to get this out of debate - Senate procedure typically requires a 60-vote cloture vote to end debate on the bill itself before the final passage vote. The fillabuster gives Democrats a mechanism to keep this from going to vote that only needs a simple majority.
Yep, call your representatives while it’s still in the amendment process! https://5calls.org/issue/bipartisan-affordability-and-jobs-act/
These old fart Dems are just as bad as republicans. Get them OUT!!! We need representatives actually representing the people. A revolution of the mind is needed in this country and these people are why.
Hmm… of the 25 senators to oppose the bill, all but one were Democrats.
The one exception was Republican Mike Rounds of South Dakota, who’s always been opposed to any kind of environmental regulation and who has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the oil industry. I wonder why he flipped on this one?
Just more failure from the Democrats in leadership and the entire party honestly.
This isn’t failure, this is how it’s designed to work
Democrats are the HR department of the Oligarchy
Retaliation from the neoliberals. Getting in their scumfuckery before January was expected but still frustrating.
What did people expect? Democrats are Republicans when it comes to corps getting money.
