Hey Jersey...you can stop the tax bill.

You have the population and the reps who are running scared know that word has gotten out that last week's phone calls were working, despite 0 coverage from the MSM. Oh well, you are tough, strong and determined (at least you were when I lived in Hoboken). The congress has been pushing this Tax Scam through even though it is barely a rough draft because they don't want the citizens to realize how crappy it is. This past weekend I learned that the bill is NOT A DONE DEAL! The GOP wants you to think that but we aren't fucking morons. Call, write, go to events and use social media (this part is crucial). We have until Jan to stop them so call everyone you know and tell them to call congress (both houses). The House has to have a special committee to figure out their bill. The Senate has to "negotiate" their bill with the House, then they may be able to get it signed. The Dems must flip 23 of 28 congressmen and we need 3 senators (maybe two if Moore loses). This IS do-able. Cory Booker, Bernie, MoveOn , Indivisible, etc have planned events all over the country and we are finally getting news coverage. Call, write, share experiences, etc through Twitter and Facebook . Keep pressuring them non stop. It is NOT over by a long shot. These two links are full of good info. There probably are even more events now and larger numbers that are current.
