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
