Republicans out of control spending does NOTHING to help you, quite the opposite.
Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare while 10’s of thousands are having their rights stripped and trampled on daily.
But if we continue to speak up and show up we can stop them.

The Republican agenda:
Terminate the tax credits that make healthcare affordable, creating panic as premiums double. Simultaneously, increase the budget for ICE's violent, often illegal, home invasion tactics.
Vote them all out in November! #FundHealthcareNotICE
