Washington, D.C., college student Zoey Salsbury has insurance today, thanks to a provision in the Affordable Care Act that allows children to stay on their parents’ health care plan up to age 26.
She said she watched in horror Thursday as House Republicans passed an Obamacare repeal bill called the American Health Care Act, either unaware their legislation would kill people, or simply unsympathetic enough to care.
So, Salsbury set out to make GOP politicians face the consequences of their vote, launching mailmetothegop.com, a website that pledges to send the ashes of your cremated body to a member of Congress, should you die because of the Republican health plan.
Okay this is one of the best ideas ever as far as I'm concerned.
In fact I was already thinking that people should confront lawmakers with the ashes of their dead relatives, or mail them the obituaries, if their heartless "health care" bill costs them their lives.
These assholes need to see the cost of their actions. And if this things passes then at every future town hall the Republicans attend somebody should stand up and read a list of all of their constituents who could not attend because they lost their health care coverage, and are no longer among the living.
The heartless Jesus loving Republicans never cease to amaze and surprise me with exactly how little they care about the little people, the sick, the elderly, the poor, and the disadvantaged.
ReplyDeleteThey BELIEVE IF GOD HASN'T BLESSED YOU WITH WEALTH OR A FAMILY OR CHURCH THAT WILL CARE FOR YOU, that you are unworthy of assistance, and your sinner status is behind your distress
They claim to follow the "prince of peace", but it's painfully obvious they don't give one shit about anything but their own pocketbooks, and getting re-elected, and they obviously have never thought about the Sermon on the Mount, or Jesus feeding the 5000.
As an athiest and an anti-theist, it's kind of ironic that I can see the connection between the words of Jesus, and how people are supposed to act and think if they follow him, but people like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and Marsha Blackburn just don't get it.
Paul Ryan, a man who attends the prayer gatherings in COngress, has supposedly been DREAMING OF CUTTING MEDICAID SINCE HE WAS IN COLLEGE!

Since his KEGGER DAYS?? Who the fuck as a college kids dreams of kicking old senior citizens off of health care, and cutting their Social Security?
WTF?!!
THese troglodyte cretins are utterly heartless and soulless. They claim to be pro life, but they voted to make health care far more expensive, and dump people with pre-existing conditions to the mercy of state governments like Alabama, and have prepared some lovely "high risk" pools for the sick, the poor and elderly, which they know damn well people can't afford.
I just hope in 2018 at least The House or Senate goes back to Democratic control to stop the evil bastard in the White house from his predatory behavior
Up way too early. I've been watching Sunday Today with Willy Geist. I had no idea that schmuck Ryan and cohorts walked out on the voting floor to the theme from Rocky, and the anger welled up again inside.
DeleteThis is not about being a poor sport in losing yet again; this is about common decency and compassion for their fellow man, of which they have NONE. Just leave Jesus out of it, @ssholes, we see what you are.
Wow. This really has devolved to high school level.
Deleteo/t was at my son's track meet yesterday, when fucking again we had to salute the flag and sing the national anthem . WHY???
Anyway, the senior mae, with a lovely voice, who sang said anthem, got the words wrong. Every time an O'er was required, he sang FOR.
This is not the first time I've heard this mistake. Were the words changed and I missed the memo??

DeleteMcConnell has to go in the U.S. Senate. He's a horrid man - led the push against President Obama from the minute he took his 'first' oath!
DeletePlus, O'Connell is extremely racist and just plain hateful. Hell assuredly awaits his ugly soul!
Oops - McConnell!!!
DeleteGood idea, but bad plan. In many states there are laws regarding how remains are handled, transported and disposed of. Dumping yourself at a gutless money fanatic jesus worshiper's mailbox will get her sent to jail in most red states.
ReplyDeleteNice to think about a stealth attack on 'em, tho. Like a "waiter" asking "Would you like some pepper?" and then dumping a handful of fresh ground Uncle Fred on the salad.
DeleteNope. Most of those"rules" are a little money grubbing fantasy played on bereaved families by the undertaker industry.
DeleteANd, as cremated remains aren't biohazzardous - you can mail them wherever you want, though you can't dump them on private property or in water without permission.
In case you didn't see this on Rachel Maddow's show the other night -- here is a bold face lying Congressman promising his constituent he will protect her.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/2017/05/04/rachel-maddow-exposes-pro-trumpcare-congressman-lying-constituents-face.html
Unfortunately he is MY congressman and I am not at all surprised by his actions. And, we had a great Democrat running against him, but Faso is well known and highly backed. We didn't have a chance. Maybe that will change -- she says hopefully...
Get your ass off the computer, GOTV and canvass STARTING NOW!
DeleteEvery news show should have a segment of people alive because they have obamacare and then the opposite if it is repealed
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that would even matter. Look at the town halls, yet they do whatever the hell they want to for their pocketbook bottom line.
Deletelol I have a business venture idea as well! Start matchmaking people to marry, who really don't want to be married traditionally, just need to be hooked up with insurance. People who don't want to marry but have great insurance they want to share with other people who don't want to marry either. Not deadbeats, professionals.
ReplyDeleteI bet these already exists or soon will.
THIS!>"I was honored to receive the highest percentage of votes of any Libertarian running for higher office in the United States."-Started off>"a friend, stepped forward and volunteered pro bono, to take this position, exclaiming, “It’s all in the name of liberty!” His credentials seemed sound." When I talked with him about my professional concerns, he began suggesting that he be allowed to physically release my tension with back rubs. I was shocked, massively uncomfortable and repulsed by the idea of him touching me."Text messages stating that I turned him on. In one message he sent he said, “why didn’t I meet you 24 years ago and knocked you up!!” – Spelling was not his forte." The final straw was on one of our last trips when he started telling me that, “when we won the election, we were going to be living together in Washington, D.C. in the same house!” I asked him where he thought my husband was going to be and he said, “Oh, he’s not going to be around!”I was resolved to no longer allow him to jeopardize MY marriage or MY health."Staying true to my resolution I informed him I was flying home to work on mandatory FEC reports. He became hysterical and started physically crying, demanding that I stay. He was enraged by my decision and once again threatened to quit the campaign if I left."Our working relationship was unbearable and my opinion of him was considerably damaged from all the lies, the ineptness, and the realization that his qualifications were merely delusions of grandeur.". I could not escape the feeling there were sinister things going on behind the scenes."The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies, RIGHT?"
ReplyDelete"How do I portray the utter creepiness and disgust that I dealt with on a daily basis? chose to divulge the truth because I am a person of principle and I hope that by reaching out, I can help others navigate some of the swamp that surrounds our elections."

Excellent idea. The ashes are sent through the mail labeled as 'cremated remains', so it should be easy to slap on a new address and resend.
ReplyDeleteOf course you thought of it first. You and SP have got to be related. Or is it just something in the Wasilla air that makes you all so smart?
ReplyDeleteDon't bother arranging to have your ashes sent to a GOP member of Congress who voted for the Republican health plan. Just shovel up about 5 pounds of fireplace ashes and put it into an opaque plastic lidded container, and mail it off to the offending politician.
ReplyDeleteDon't wait until you're dead... ;-D
