The Fight to Protect Our Care Continues

Keep Senator Capito from Straying after her Visit with Trump
Today Senator Capito is joining President Trump in making a visit to the Boy Scout National Jamboree, and no doubt Trump will be using this opportunity to twist our Senator's arm on healthcare. On top of that, the Senate is expected to vote on another (secret) healthcare bill as early as tomorrow. That's why it's more critical than ever that we urge Senator Capito to vote NO! Come join us this week for events in Huntington and Charleston! More

Tomorrow, Join us in Morgantown and Charleston as we send a message to Senator Capito: we are watching closely, and we won’t take anything but “NO” for an answer! More

Major Rally asks Senator to “#SaveMeCapito!” This Sunday
Next week, the U.S. Senate is likely to vote on an immoral healthcare bill that would take away health care for 23 million Americans in exchange for more tax breaks for the wealthy. Senator Capito is a key swing vote on this bill. It’s no exaggeration to say that she may be the most important Senator in the country right now. There are two important events coming up this week where we can send a message to Senator Capito to put the interests of West Virginians first and protect our care. More

One notable ‘hail-Mary’ passage of a bill was SB 386, the Medical Cannabis bill that was taken up in the final Judiciary meeting and passed out of the Senate during the last floor session. More
