The TAX SCAM is being exposed. Our efforts are working...keep it up!

The MSM is finally showing the Resistance efforts that are in play and the GOP is scared!!!!! Keep up the calls, protests, sharing on social media. The GOP knows that the word is out and we are not going to let them screw us...stay focused and keep hammering them any way you can. Make sure the media knows it. We are the grass roots and our energy and drive to stay focused on this is paying off. DO NOT BE DISTRACTED. They will try to have us chasing shadows but we are too smart and know their BS.
CALL, write, share, be loud and strong...This is OUR COUNTRY TOO! It is not a dictatorship yet.

Because McConnell accidentally removed corporate tax breaks, or were they able to slide that back in?

until it was too late. They screwed up in several big and small ways. This is one reason why we now have the time and can nail them and now stop it...HAH! We just have to keep pressuring them until Jan 1st and DO it NON STOP and in massive numbers and get it on TV and in social media. STAY FOCUSED and we will WIN!

Because if so, that's a huge advantage for us in the fight.

The GOP doesn't want us to know that there is time for us to stop them. If I weren't part of a nationwide phone call on Sunday I would've assumed the same thing since the news made it seem like the Fri vote was the end.
On Sunday I learned that there is time and I have been trying to get the word out. Especially in CA where the Tax Scam will really hurt homeowners and the GOP reps in the state are very nervous now that we know better. They should be scared.
The House and Senate have two separate bills. They have to agree on a single bill. Ryan has to choose a committee and it will be behind closed doors. The two chambers have to "negotiate" and come up with a single bill. This is what gives us time (until Jan 1st for now anyway). There are 28 congressmen who voted for one bill but not the other bill. They have to agree on one. We need 23 congressmen to flip it in the House and 3 in the Senate. If Moore loses, then we need only two (due to Corker). That is why the GOP is supporting a pedophile. They need his vote on the bill. Since CA is BLUE and has so many congressmen, our state alone could kill the tax bill if we all get together and pressure them relentlessly. Social media is crucial. If you have family, friend, whoever in the state try really hard to get them to call their reps in both houses. The work we are doing IS working!

are fully aware of what happened last week. Firstly,they write the copy that goes up on the Prompter's. And They also get paid at ten percent of the Talent they write for. Duh! Andy Lack at Comcast Media and Jeff Zucker at CNN can't fire them all.
