Emergency rally in New York at 6:00 p.m. EST:
Rep. Dan Donovan’s Staten Island Office,
265 New Dorp Lane
He’s deciding people’s medical future. Talking about defunding Planned Parenthood and the repealing of the Affordable Care Act.
He’s voting tomorrow. So if you live in New York, this could be your last chance to save your medical insurance or the medical insurance of someone you know.
You could make the life of someone else easier. Raise your voice so we can all be heard.
“We are here! We are here! Don’t hurt us just because you’re powerful and we’re small to you. We are here!”
Guess this isn’t needed. He says he’s voting “No.”
You no longer have to be worried. He’s got your back.
Though if I were you, I’d still show up at the rally. Show your signs to the cameras, tweet the pics of cool signs and masses of peoples’ backs, and show the Republicans that Yes, the American people are concerned about affordable healthcare.
Yes, even though corporations, rich people, and ignorant people say otherwise, we would prefer to have affordable health insurance and price caps without care caps.
Yes, we would prefer to choose when, how, and if we have children. And Yes, when those children are alive, we would prefer that they be happy, healthy, educated, and protected by the same laws as their richer brethren.

Seriously, yo. The stuff that’s going on in the United States right now has me very concerned. Not just because of international incidents and the threat of war looming with Russia and North Korea. But because when it’s all said and done, we might find our country’s infrastructure and reputation ruined.
Already, rather than the easy trip to college I was hoping for, the Kid is looking at a hard road ahead. And sure, he’s smart enough that he’ll be able to get a scholarship *fingers-crossed* but if ham-fisted diplomacy results in a war, it’s likely that his is a generation of young men and women that will spend their late teens and twenties fighting in wars that never should have been started.
And that’s terrifying. Because I don’t want him to die.
