Write to your senators and representative now

Trump's freeze on NIH funding will cripple life-saving medical research and the institutions that support it. Hundreds of thousands of research scientists will lose their jobs at research universities and their labs will be shuttered. Research seeking cures and treatments for children's cancer, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, ALS and every other disease will halt.

Hospitals and community health centers that don't receive Medicaid reimbursements will close. Doctor's offices will close. Doctors, nurses, and all the employees of these hospitals and clinics will lose their jobs.

Not for profit agencies will close, and their employees will all lose their jobs. The essential services they provide will end.

Write to your senators and representatives and tell them to intervene with the Trump administration.

If you don't know how to reach them, look them up on Congress.gov, go to their webpages, and email them. Be polite. Don't be rude, but express urgency.

Tim Kane is on Nicole Wallace show begging for us to call our Reps and Senators now! Especially Republican Reps and Senators! He said what Lump is doing is illegal. WE the people need to make some noise.

statewide are Democrats. All of you in red states with Republican representation need to make your voices heard NOW! Visit their offices, make phone calls...let them know they are NOT representing you! Continue to bug them. It worked when they wanted to abolish the ACA...it will work again if enough constituents flood their phone lines and offices.

I also wrote to my Democratic representative. The Democrats need to hear from us too.

Urging her to get the word to Senate Democrats and to House Dems that we need them to stand up to tRump NOW. I know she reads her posts.

That is one way we can get to them if we follow them as I do. I follow both Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, as well as Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Jasmine Crockett, and many more.
