Thomas, I have bad news. Senate Republicans now claim they have the votes to pass the Tax Scam. The vote is expected early this week.

Because Bob Corker gave up. Because Marco Rubio flipped. Because Susan Collins still clings to empty promises that don't make sense. The most consequential transfer of wealth to billionaire corporations may happen, because Republicans only care about a "win."

The Senate will rush this before Alabama Democrat Doug Jones can be sworn in—and Republicans still control the Senate 52-48. This is not public policy. It is partisan madness.

Don't get angry, get furious. Reject the notion that politicians can simply act without consequences, and make another phone call TODAY to your Republican senator(s).

Call Senator Mike Crapo at (202) 224-6142 and Senator James E. Risch at (202) 224-2752. When you reach an aide, leave the following message:

Hello, my name is Thomas calling from 83702. I am absolutely against the Tax Bill, and urge you to vote NO. The thought of you voting for this makes me very angry.

Call can't get through? Sign and send a quick petition to your Senator by clicking here.

Sign and send the petition


Keep fighting,

Re: Tell your Republican MoC: #NoJonesNoVote

To pare this down to the basics:
1. Here are the phone numbers: Sen. Mike Crapo, 202-224-6142; Sen. James Risch, 202-224-2752
2. Here is a script:

Sample Call Dialogue 

Caller: Hello! My name is [___] and I'm calling from [part of state]. I want [Senator] to refuse to take a final vote on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act until the new duly-elected Senator from Alabama is seated.

Staffer: Senator [___] is in favor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and thinks the American people can't wait to reform our broken, complex tax code. There is no need to wait until the New Year to vote on it.

Caller: That's terrible. The people of Alabama deserve to have their voices heard and be represented by the Senator they elected. Keep in mind that [Senator] helped Mitch McConnell keep a Supreme Court seat vacant so that "the people could decide." Well, here the people have decided and their will should be respected. After Scott Brown was elected in a special election in Massachusetts, there were no further votes on the Affordable Care Act until he was seated. That's the approach [Senator] should follow here.

Staffer: Thank you. I'll let the Senator know your thoughts.  

Caller: Yes please do, and please take down my contact information so you can let me know what the Senator decides to do. He/she can do the right thing with his/her vote alone. I will be watching to see that he/she does.

Show up. Make a call. Find an event.

Indivisibles --

WOW.

We don't know about you… but we woke up this morning feeling energized, renewed, and ready to go in to this final stretch of the tax fight! Last night's victory proves that when we fight we win.

Yesterday, we got two new pieces of information that are shaping the landscape of this tax fight. In the morning, we heard that the conference committee will unveil their conference report (read our explainer on what that means) on Friday. And the Senate could vote as early as Monday, with the House close behind them.

Then, late last night Doug Jones won the Alabama special Senate election to fill Jeff Sessions' seat. Doug Jones' victory changes the game on the tax scam. Republicans are likely to rush the tax scam through before Jones is seated and do whatever they can to stall seating him.

In 2010, when Democrats were attempting to pass the Affordable Care Act and there was a vacant Senate seat in Massachusetts, Senators across the aisle agreed that there'd be no vote until Scott Brown was sworn in:

"I think the majority has gotten the message: no more gamesmanship here, no more lack of transparency, let's honor the wishes of the people of Massachusetts and move forward with policy." [Mitch McConnell, Politico, 1/20/2010]

"I'm not going to participate in any more health care votes until Sen. Scott Brown is sworn in." [Jim Webb, former Democratic Senator from Virginia]

"Here's one thing I know and I just want to make sure that this is off the table: The Senate certainly shouldn't try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated." [President Barack Obama, ABC News, 1/20/2010]

Tell Senators Crapo and Risch: #NoJonesNoVote. Refuse to cast a final vote on the tax scam "conference report" until Doug Jones is seated. Here's what you can do:

We have a lot of leverage in this fight. Senators Susan Collins (ME) Jeff Flake (AZ) voted for the tax scam, but both have also said the bill wasn't perfect. John McCain is concerned about regular order. Marco Rubio also wants a more generous Child Tax Credit for low-income families. There are also a number of differences between the two bills and the Republican caucus isn't aligned yet. They're running out of time to get everything done and we can stop them.

Amp up the pressure on these targets. Read our call scripts and make a call now!

In solidarity,
The Indivisible Team

PS -- We can't say it enough: we're blown away by what this movement accomplished last night. Along with so many partners on the ground, they canvassed in Madison, Lee, and Mobile counties that flipped from Trump to Jones. And volunteers across the country sent 242,420 texts to Alabamians to get out the vote. Can you chip in to help us take our lessons learned from Alabama e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e in 2018?

Re: Minutes Dec 8, 2017 BOD meeting

Thank you all for your concern for my Mom.  She seems to be very happy that I am there also!  She remains in the hospital as of today but it looks like she may be moving to a Skilled Nursing Facility very soon. I appreciate all the work you are all doing to keep the train on the tracks and I look forward to being back in LaPaz on January 14th.  Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you all!  Kris

There are valve lock out devices available

Hello,
Kris, we hope yoyur mother is doing well. I think her operation was about now.  A big surgery when you are older.

We have seen that merely turning the valve to restrict flow is not working. Its too easy to reverse it.

I Googled valve lockout devices and there are lots. Here are some of the links.





The other option is to revisit the definition of "restrict".
There could be a case for turning it off completely for certain hours and then back on the rest of the time. The advantage would be its either on or off not someplace in between that is uncertain.
Of course we need to follow the law per our attorney.

All the Best,

Steve
