Hi, I have selected a few of you from the full list to share a copy of my recent email to Tom Perez and Keith Ellison. I am not a registered Democrat though have most of my life leaned that way. These past few months, my activity in the resistance, like yours, has touched with the Democratic Party hence the requests from Perez and Ellison for my feedback. It wasn’t like I was special but 1 of many thousands working to fight the Trump Whitehouse!
Anyway after the success of today, I had a strong opinion of what I thought these men should do to lead the way. So, I wanted to share this with you and encourage you to do something similar. Wherever/whatever you think should be done moving forward needs to be shared with leadership whether that’s the Democrats, MoveOn, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, etc. etc. etc.!
Why don’t you send your own email telling these guys what YOU think they should do going forward. I mean I didn’t even tap on the elections now and moving forward that need to be won by progressives. So, have at it! And, let me know how it goes!

You both asked me what should the Dems do. Well, here’s what I think – immediately start writing op-eds, placing ads in big and small papers/web sites. Get the word out that the Affordable Care Act (do not call it Obama Care) is insuring and working for ?? (fill in the number) millions of Americans!!
Make a run into each and every state that doesn’t already have expanded Medicaid!. Show the people how important that is for coverage of all Americans! We, the resistance, can help but you need to lead this effort! 56% who were against the Republicans’ actions for repeal without a replacement - tap that and work to sell what we already have!!!!! Help seniors understand how the bill wanted to cut contributions (from the very rich) and effectively destroy Medicare coverage for everyone over 65 (me for example)!!
Take every evil in the bill and capitalize on how the ACA positively approaches / solves it!
Capitalize on the Reps failure.
Then put a team around HHS and Secretary Price and foil any attempt he makes to destroy the ACA! FOCUS!
