NY has the power to stop the Tax Scam...DO IT!

Come on New Yorkers show the GOP that you are onto their scam and are NOT buying IT! The MSM has been silent until yesterday and NOW WE ARE BEING HEARD! They thought they could pass this shitty bill without anyone noticing. Guess what..We NOTICED! We are pissed off and we should be.
I was part of a nationwide call on Sunday and everything I heard from Cory Booker, Bernie, Indivisible, MoveOn, etc is true. They have been working hard and we must do the same. The calls last week were finally working then the GOP declared it was all over. WRONG! It is not over and we are going to fight this tooth and nail until Jan 1st.
Ryan has to select a special closed door committee to figure out what the House bill should be (really, no joke). We will need to flip 23 of the 28 congressmen who voted differently on the two different house bills. This gives us some time. In the Senate we need 3 senators (only two if Moore loses since we have Corker). This is why the GOP is supporting a pedophile (lovely ). Then the two chambers must "negotiate" and agree on a single bill.
We have to keep hammering them non stop and keep the pressure on them. Call, write, attend an event, etc. Make sure the local media is there. The crucial part is to spread the word through social media. The MSM has been distracted by $ and ratings/shiny objects. There are important issues and there are distractions but THIS IS THE MAIN PRIORITY! Stay focused and be loud, strong, stubborn and fight them with all you have. Here are two good links for info. They are not current for today so the number and sizes of the events may have increased. We are counting on everyone to make at least one call.
