It's working -- we need to keep it up. Grassroots efforts are making opponents nervous, and now they're afraid they don't have the votes.
Robert --
We just got word that the House is postponing the vote to repeal Obamacare.
Obamacare's opponents don't yet have the votes to pass their so-called plan, and we have to keep the pressure on.
Two months ago, they said they'd have repealed this law by now, but because people like you have been speaking out, they've delayed their timeline. But this fight is far from over and it affects too many lives to risk letting up now.
This bill would strip health care away from millions of Americans, end Medicaid as we know it, and they may change it so that it would even end important, essential health benefits like requiring maternity or mental health coverage or let annual and lifetime limits back in insurance plans. But for some in Congress that still wasn't enough, so Obamacare opponents will hold a closed door meeting tonight to talk about what changes to make to force the bill through -- changes that will pander to extremists and ultimately make this bill even worse for the American public.
OFA, along with coalition partners, are gathering at events across the country tomorrow to let our representatives know that the only acceptable vote on this bill is "no." Join your neighbors by finding an event near you.
Make no mistake, congressional leaders are going to use this extra time to make backroom deals to try and get the votes they need.
But this delay is proof that our voices matter more -- that the health, security and well-being of our community matter more than Washington deal-making.

Every morning I wake up to the horror show in Washington, DC, and burn with renewed commitment to raise my voice, organize my community, build our movement, and do whatever it takes to fight for the future of our children.
I am not alone. Tens of thousands of MomsRising members across the country are just like me, who share my passionate determination. But working for MomsRising, I have an important advantage: I have access to experienced colleagues, policy experts, and other resources to support my fight. In truth, these advantages and resources are available to you too!
The rest of the MomsRising team and I agree: We are all here to help MomsRising members who are on fire, and want to share our resources with you!
*If you are like us, moms on fire, click this link and MomsRising will back you up too with organizing resources, actions, special access to MomsRising staff, and more:
Here at MomsRising, we've been blown away by the groundswell of grassroots activism happening right now sparked by the Women's March.
Millions of women participated...Make no mistake, the passion and commitment of women and mothers, who make the vast majority of healthcare, consumer and education decisions in our nation, are driving this new public engagement as they watch in horror the decisions being made by the President and his allies in Congress.
We’ve been hearing from MomsRising members and volunteers across the nation who want to do more! So if you’re fired up in defense of families, communities and our country, and are ready to gather your family, friends and neighbors to stand strong against hate & for policies that lift us all, then we want to share the resources we have at MomsRising with you!
Ready to help lead the charge in the fight to resist President Trump's destructive agenda? Sign up to be a MomsRising #KeepMarching Circle leader now:
#KeepMarching Circles give form and function to what you are looking to do or may even be doing already: Meeting with others to talk about current events, strategize about and what can be done to lift our communities and country; sharing your anger and emailing around to each other petitions and actions to sign; gathering for postcard parties and attending town hall meetings together; swapping meeting agendas, actions, and more.
There’s a lot to do, and it’s often the most fun and easiest to do it with a group of people as well as an organization that shares your values supporting you. MomsRising wants to be that organization.
When you sign up to be a #KeepMarching Circle Leader, you will be added to a secret Facebook group, where you can share information and compare notes with other #KeepMarching Leaders across the country. If you're looking for actions, you will be among the first to know about MomsRising's activities across all our campaigns and how you can help. We’ll also post sample agendas and action toolkits for you to use. Finally, we really are sharing MomsRising's resources with you! You will have more direct and immediate access to MomsRising staff, who will also be members of this Facebook group.
Starting a #KeepMarching Circle is a fun and effective way to make a difference, and MomsRising makes it super easy for you.
For example, as a first step, we suggest you organize a meetup on advocacy and organizing. MomsRising recently held a #KeepMarching Telephone Town Hall meeting, where we shared our favorite tactics and tips (and we’ll give you a toolkit to use for your meeting). People loved it! Here are a few reviews:
Belinda said: “This was such an awesome event. So informative! I LOVE how this group is engaging and productive and family-centered. Thank you so much!”
Marianne said: “It was a great call. So much great information!”
Marni said: "One of the best and most helpful calls I've been on, and I've been on A LOT of them lately. Love the idea about the legislative processes for the next call. Thank you for all you are doing!"
The entire conversation was recorded, so at your first meetup, your group can listen to the recording, while following along with the downloadable toolkit, #KeepMarching: MomsRising Advocacy and Organizing Tactics and Tips. Afterwards, your group can decide your focus, develop a message, and begin discussing how you can work together to maximize your impact. And if you need help pulling it together, MomsRising staff is there for you!
The vote for the Republicans' ObamaCare replacement bill is scheduled for late tomorrow. As much as we want to support our new President, the 'American Health Care Act' is, at best, 'ObamaCare Lite' and, at worst, the 'GOP Disaster Of 2017!' Thankfully, our Congressman, Rob Wittman has vowed to vote against it! It could bolster his resolve to let him know you appreciate his valid, bold stand by calling his office at(202) 225-4261. As Neil Gorsuch recently testified, a judge decides a case on the law before him. Our Congressmen should likewise vote on the law before them - not something that may become tolerable at some time in the future if and when Phase 2 and 3 are passed. If the Republican leadership believes they can get the votes necessary to pass Phase 2 and 3 at some time in the future, let them put all of the phases together in a winning bill that we can support RIGHT NOW!
Call Congressman Wittman's office at (202) 225-4261 to let him know you want him to oppose this BAD bill!
It is far better to have no bill than to have the BAD bill that's being voted on now! Republicans have had time to get this right! Rushing a BAD bill through the legislature with the promise that it will get fixed later is wishful-thinking fantasy!
Thank you for helping maintain our Republic!

Rep. Jim Jordan will be joining us to discuss the GOP's healthcare proposal, and why the House Freedom Caucus is opposing it. Rep. Jordan does not believe that the GOP's proposal goes far enough to fully repeal Obamacare.
Jim Jordan is a fiscal conservative who believes that families and taxpayers, rather than government, know best how to make decisions with their money. Throughout his career, Jim Jordan has led the fight against tax hikes, including those proposed by his own political party. He believes that cutting taxes and letting families keep more of what they earn helps build strong communities and a vibrant economy.
In Congress, Jordan has also emerged as a prominent defender of the taxpayer's pocketbook through his work on spending issues. In 2009, he introduced the only balanced budget alternative to President Obama's budget. In the 112th Congress, Jordan served as Chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, the largest caucus of conservatives, advancing conservative ideas and solutions on Capitol Hill. In the 114th Congress, Jordan helped found the House Freedom Caucus, and served as its first Chairman. >>click here to read Jordan's full bio<<
With this track record of serving the American people and fighting bad policy that ultimately takes more money and more freedom away from Americans, I am interested in what Congressman Jordan has to say about the AHCA.
The call will go live TODAY, March 21 at 12:00 pm (EST). Dial 712-432-0900 and enter code 199176#. If you would like to ask a question, dial *6 to get in queue.
For God and Country,
Bishop E.W. Jackson
