There is far more at stake here than ACA

if we cave to the tea party!

It would create a precedent whereby our Constitution would have no meaning if the minority can gain control of one house of Congress and force laws to be created and/or repealed by extortion.

ACA would be just the first to go... I fear to think of what would be next to fall,,,, and next .

Please Mr President tell the GOP to kiss your ASS!

This is a much bigger deal than most people realize. No concessions can be granted to extortionists. If they want to change the ACA, they need to win enough elections to allow them to accomplish that through legislation.

Thanks again to Bernie Sanders! At about three minutes into the video Bernie gets into the other GOP objectives.
A frightening vision.
