  • "Despite your stance on the Affordable Healthcare Act, this is the most inopportune time to try and remove medical coverage from over 20 million Americans. We cannot continue to dismiss the necessity for health insurance, not only in times of a pandemic, but for routine care. The past few months have highlighted the absolute importance of access to healthcare. We will not remove coverage from the American people unless we are making it more accessible and affordable for all people." (www.facebook.com)

  • "This week the SCOTUS handed down two significant decisions. One has stopped this administration from ending the DACA program and protections for our young dreamers. While this is a great victory, it does not mean that the fight is over. This administration has already promised to try again to end the DACA program. In his dissent, Justice Kavanaugh wrote, "They live, go to school, and work here with uncertainty about their futures. Despite many attempts over the last two decades, Congress has not yet enacted legislation to afford legal status to those immigrants... "the only practical consequence of the Court's decision to remand appears to be some delay" because the court's decision "seems to allow the Department on remand to relabel and reiterate substance."" This means that without intentional action in Congress, this administration can continue efforts to end these protections. We need people in DC who will remove the uncertainties for these young dreamers. We need people who can be trusted to advocate behind closed doors." (www.facebook.com)
