Opinions are my own
To clarify, Rand Paul being a no means he already opposes the bill based off of costs alone, so he is 1/4 needed. And there are others aside from my list who may be skeptical as well.

6/ Rally all people in the opposition, Progressives, the Centre-Left, Centrists, Good Conservatives, all hands need to be in this fight and there is at least one thing every group can oppose. Encourage them to speak tactfully (BE POLITE) or the response will be lacking. We need 4 total defectors.

-Concept of the Operation: We should begin campaign effective immediately. After beginning we will establish consensus on Senators who are most likely to break based off of conversations with staffers. The operation will continue until final vote is held and future COA will be decided then.

4/ Execution:
-Intent: To calmly appeal to specific concerns of Senators that could impact their respective decisions based off of their individual and universal policy concerns. Additional focus on those who have already expressed reluctance.

3/ Mission: We and likeminded individuals are to attempt to encourage defections in the Senate GOP in order to delay or prevent final passage of this Federal Budget by contacting offices of Senate Republicans via phone, email, or mailers.

2/ Basic Situation: Legislation is packed with cuts to social welfare along with targetting on Gender Affirming Care. Bill also raises the debt by trillions via tax cuts.
-MLCOA: This bill faces issues in the Senate and Trump tries to bring down the hammer.
-MDCOA: The Senate GOP stays unified.
