A template for anyone inclined to write a senator to oppose the Republican "health care" bill.
Dear Senator NAME:
I am writing to ask that you object to all "Unanimous Consent" requests until such time that the AHCA is fully and openly debated, with public hearings, impact statements, industry input, expert testimony, and CBO scoring. As I see it right now, there is nothing that Republicans can offer in exchange for your consent that justifies accommodating senate business for this horrible bill. I therefore urge you to use every parliamentary tool and procedure available to you, including withholding consent, in order to stave off this disaster for hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans, and millions of Americans.
This is not a difference in policy in which reasonable people may disagree; if this bill is made law, people will die. They will die for a morally repulsive reason: to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest among us. And Republicans are pursing this objective in the most cynical way possible. It is up to you to stop them.
There are 23 million people counting on you.
Thank you for your work on behalf of all Minnesotans.
With my kind regards,
