Received this e-mail over the weekend from U.S. Senator Chris Murphy’s (D. CT) re-election campaign:
For weeks, Republicans in the Senate negotiated their "health care" bill in private. There were no hearings. No debates on the floor. And only a handful of Senators had any idea what was in the legislation. Now we know why.
Their hope was that they could limit the amount of time between its release and the vote so the American people would be uninformed about the incalculable real life human suffering it would cause in communities across the country -- and all of it to muster enough money together to give the wealthiest among us a massive tax cut.
That's still their hope, but we can do something about it. I read the bill and created a short video walking people through what's inside. Now I want to ask you to something important.
Watch my short video walking through what's inside of this disastrous health care bill. Then sign my petition telling the Senate to vote against this monstrosity. Then forward this email to your friends. All three steps matter.
Our best chance to stop this legislation is to spread the word about its impact before we vote in the coming days and to make our voices heard in opposition.
Watch the video. Sign the petition. Forward this email.
Every best wish,
Chris Murphy
U.S. Senator, Connecticut
