My daughter’s letter to Senator Collins regarding the ACA

My daughter’s letter to Senator Collins of Maine regarding the Affordable Care Act. #aca #obamacare

Senator Susan Collins,

I am writing on behalf of my grandmother, Priscilla Hinckley, a resident of Vienna, Maine. Senator Collins, we implore you on the behalf of your constituents to please halt the efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Without something in place to cover those people left behind, you would be damaging the lives of thousands in your own state. You have shown yourself to be a moderate and clearheaded politician in the past who is not afraid to vote with the other side of the aisle when you feel that the needs of Mainers are at stake. Please this is one of those times.

Scientists warn that losing another fifth of Brazil’s Amazon will trigger the feedback loop known as dieback, in which the forest begins to dry out and burn in a cascading system collapse, beyond the reach of any subsequent human intervention or regret. https://t.co/oQquBYsM3Z

USDA headquarters is in chaos, with a mass exodus due to it moving to FUCKING KANSAS, the Secretary of Agriculture is openly antagonistic towards farmers, Homeland Security is driving away or imprisoning migrant labor, and the President is forcing the Chinese ag market away.

One thing a lot of Americans don't know about Denmark is they saved 90% of their Jewish population from deportation during the Holocaust by ferrying them to neutral Sweden.

A brave act of resistance that required the whole population working together.
