Rally Against Graham-Cassidy Bill
Tuesday, September 26, 12noon-1pm, outside of U.S. Senator Rob Portman’s Columbus office, 37 W. Broad St., Ste. 300
The Senate’s latest iteration of Trumpcare is equally as bad as prior bills and is gaining steam. They may be close to the 50 votes needed but Portman has yet to weigh in. This is our chance to kill Trumpcare for good because any ACA [Affordable Care Act] repeal/reform effort must be voted on before 9/30. If Portman’s a yes, millions may lose their coverage. Please show up and bring a friend!! Zombie attire optional.
