From The People Say No protest in Pensacola, FL yesterday. If there's a protest in your area & you value #democracy & depise what is being done to our country, join in. We're all in this together.

When those kicked off Medicaid have to use the ER for care, guess to whom those costs are passed? What hurts one, hurts all. In this together! Call your congressperson now!

Jeff Nall @jeffnall.bsky.social · Jul 2

Call Rep. Patronis now! DC office (202) 225-4136.
The Big Bullsh*t Bill will hit rural counties hard. In Santa Rosa alone, an estimated 25,000 families will be kicked off Medicaid. We're all in this together. Call now!
BTW, Pcola office has no phone #.
