The New Privatization Nightmare Coming Soon…

The Trump administration has just put the drinking water for 1 in 3 Americans in danger.

The Trump administration has begun the process of repealing President Obama's Clean Water Rule - which protected two million miles of streams and 20 million more acres of wetlands from pollution.

Polling from the Sustainable Business Council found that 80 percent of small business owners support the Clean Water Rule.

The National Wildlife Foundation has found that 83 percent of hunters and fishers support the rule.

The administration's decision potentially threatens drinking water for 117 million Americans.

Isn't this proof that some things are not best left to free market to decide? The market prioritizes profit not health and safety.

Great conversation about Medicaid with Thom and Keith. It needs to be said that “Nearly two million veterans across the country rely on Medicaid, and for as many as 365,000 of them, it is their only source of health coverage. Without it, they'd be uninsured.” Over the past few months, we have heard from thousands of veterans who stand to lose so much if this trump Health Care/Insurance bill passes. VoteVets.org

Please repeat this statement and ask or tell our Reps and Senators to do the same. Repetition seems to be the key!!!

Thank you,
