Called Grass's office on Public appearances and AHCA


Davenport office:
1) Grassley has no public meetings over the holiday therefore has nothing on his schedule (what hogwash!) - he does have 9 private meetings

2) then asked the staffer to convey my feelings on the health care bill. We ended up getting into an argument.
- He told me there was no bill (BS - They had a draft last week)
- He said there would be no cuts to the long term disabled (my BIL). I said you just told me there was no bill - WTF? You can't tell me you know the details!
- there was no tax cuts, it was a roll back of tax increases by Obama! I said that sounds like a huge tax cut to me with rich folks averaging $7million.

I said Jesus Christ I didn't call you to have you repeat the same lies I hear on Fox to me on the phone. You should do some reading up on this bill!

But he's a coward. Pure and simple. I had a staffer actually tell me not to call anymore because he "knows your views very well." I told him that I'm going to keep on calling and will even email now.

They don't ask my name anymore - I am sure my number probably sets off a red flashing light.
