For the millions of you that will lose your insurance if Obamacare is
repealed please call Paul Ryan. It took me about two minutes, most of that waiting patiently for the recording to end.

Paul Ryan is
conducting a phone poll on the ACA (Obamacare), hoping to hear
overwhelming popular opposition to it. If you would like to express your
support for the Affordable Care Act, call (202) 225-3031. Press 2 to
weigh in on the issue. You’ll hear a brief recording about HR-3762, Paul
Ryan’s proposal to gut the ACA, and
President Obama’s use of his veto power to stop it. Then, you will have a
chance to indicate your opinion with the press of a button.

Press 1 if you support Obamacare, 2 if you oppose it.

There is also an option after making your choice to leave a voicemail for Speaker Ryan, which I did, and recommend doing, but is obviously not required.

HEADS UP!

I’ve been informed that the original phone number included no longer works!

The new phone number is:
202-225-0600

If you were unable to get through, please try again! I understand the new number takes 30-40 seconds to connect (without any audible ringing) but is otherwise the same so please don’t hang up!

just a warning based off something i saw on twitter recently:

BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU SEE FASCIST STICKERS/POSTERS

DO NOT PULL THEM DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS

it’s not uncommon that the scum who put that stuff up will tape razors to the back/edges in order to injure anyone who pulls them off:

the safest way to deal with fash propaganda is to cover it up or deface it

if you’re going to take them down, use something like a coin or sharp edge rather than your fingers

BE SAFE WHEN REMOVING PROPAGANDA

Hey, guys. I’m sure many of you are aware of what’s been going on with me irl, but for those of you who don’t know, allow me to explain. 

My name is Lina, I’m a freelance artist, and several months ago my mother was diagnosed with stage four, terminal cancer in her intestines. even with treatment, the doctors gave her until the end of the year to live. This diagnosis came as a shock, and so soon after my dad passed away only two years ago. it was the last thing we ever expected to happen.

still, we didn’t want to give up, and wanted to provide my mom with treatment, but because she didn’t have insurance, my sisters and i paid what we could for her treatment out of our pockets. we took care of her, and for a while, she seemed like she was getting better, but then her health took a turn for the worst in the last few months.

she fought this wretched cancer for over seven, excruciating months. despite all our efforts and hopes, the morning of October 8th, at the age of 58 my mother passed away. 

in the span of only two years we’ve lost both our parents. now, aside from having to shoulder my mom’s medical bills, we have to take care of funeral costs as well. but we cannot do this alone, so we’ve launched a GoFundMe so that we may raise funds to cover the costs of my mother’s funeral, and her medical bills.

I’m sorry if you’re tired of seeing me talk about this, and would rather i posted more art, but this matter affects me directly, and i have no other choice but to bring it to people’s attention.

Thank you very much for reading.
