   Folks, if you have a Republican representative in the House, start calling them (yes, I know phone calls are hard; folks dying in concentration camps are gonna have it a lot harder) ASAP to vote against the Big Ugly Bill with talking points that don't make it clear you're not one of them.

   Indivisible has some recommended ones (https://act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutting-programs-to-fund-handouts-to-billionaires) but honestly make up any plausible bs about how it's going to affect your parents'/grandparents' medical or nursing home care or whatever. Stuff that sounds like things Republican shits care about. Fuck, you can even complain about the magnitude of expenditures and waste of your tax money.

   Only four need to defect to send this back for another round.

     Only key things you NEED to say:

     - Your name

     - Where you live (confirming that you're their constituent)

     - That you want them to vote no on the reconciliation bill
