Daily Yopp! 1.14.17 - Defend the ACA

A friend of a friend called Senator Warren's office to find to what she could do to speak up against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. This is what Warren's staffers told her:
"What would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from the GOP to demand a slow down of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and share your story."
They are:

Senator Bob Co
rker - (202) 224-3344 - Tennessee
Senator Lisa Murkowski - (202) 224-6665 - Alaska
Senator Rob Portman - (202) 224-3353 - Ohio
Senator Susan Collins - (202) 224-2523 - Maine
Senator Bill Cassidy - (202) 224-5824 - Louisiana

I know the above goes against the usual approach recommended by the Indivisible Guide. Yes, we definitely need to keep our focus on our on MoCs (Members of Congress).That said, we also need to cultivate relationships with some of the "softer" GOP congressmen. Certainly can't hurt, and it might help.
That said, if you know anyone in Tennessee, Alaska, Ohio, Maine, or Louisiana, PLEASE encourage them to call their senators. Their one call is worth ten calls from non-constituents. (I just made up that figure, but you get the point.)
