Noon Rally Tuesday to Tell Sen. Capito “Don’t Make My Care Extinct!”

Thanks to you and all your hard, dedicated, work we have got our Senator Capito to so far stay true to West Virginia. She continues to express doubt and concern about the Senate healthcare bill, but make no mistake, Mitch McConnell and her party are doing everything they can to get her to a ‘Yes’ on taking care from over 200,000 of our friends and neighbors.

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!


Charleston: #KillTheBill Rally, Press event, and Presentation of Petitions

The latest version of Trumpcare is just as cruel as the last one. Yes, they’ve thrown some sweeteners in to distract. The fact is, tens of thousands of West Virginians and millions of Americans stand to have their healthcare stripped from them. The cuts to Medicaid are still there, and with the “Cruz Amendment” it will serve to destabilize the insurance markets, lowering access and raising costs for all.

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, July 18th as we rally to demand a “NO” vote and deliver petitions, at least a thousand signatures collected at rallies and by grassroots organizers around the state.

The Reverend Janice Hill (pictured below), who you may remember as the mother from Parkersburg who confronted Sen. Capito last month with her daugther’s battle with cancer and the how without the ACA she would likely have died. Rev. Hill will join us at this event to reiterate her message and discuss her upcoming hunger strike to save health care.

Bring your personal healthcare stories, signs, and your enthusiasm to Senator Capito’s District Office and tell her to #KillTheBill We will meet on the corner of Virginia Street and Laidley, on the sidewalk in front of the United Bank building, 500 Virginia Street East, Charleston, WV 25301 at 12:00PM Noon.

Make Calls Every Day!

Last week, Senator Capito said: “If I have to be that one person to kill the healthcare bill, I will.”

The important word in that sentence is: “If.”  This thing is far from over.

We have to make our message to Senator Capito very clear: “Reject any bill that cuts or caps Medicaid. This is a bad deal for West Virginia and the most vulnerable in our community, and you can’t put a band-aid on this bill.”

Call NOW (and every day) and leave this quick message with your name and zip code so Senator Capito knows the people of WV aren’t fooled by Senator McConnell’s tricks:

DC Office: (202) 224-6472

Charleston Office: (304) 347-5372
