Join concerned citizens who are, once again, being ignored and excluded by Congressman Brat. We will gather at 6:15 outside Clover Hill Assembly of God on Tuesday, May 9, 2017 to share our concerns about Brat's support for the AHCA and other damaging legislation that threatens to weaken public schools and environmental protections. Dress in gray and black and bring a tombstone sharing what you have lost or stand to lose as a result of Brat's failure to lead and represent. If possible, keep your tombstone concealed until 6:30. Plan to lay down and "DIE" for your convictions promptly at 6:30 pm when you hear the trumpet sound.
Background: Congressman Brat voted along party lines to support the American Health Care Act, which will negatively impact tens of thousands of his constituents. He ignored pleas from constituents to meet in advance of this legislation to share personal stories and suggest improvements to the ACA. Instead, Brat pushed through this irresponsible legislation without public hearing, support from the health care industry, and consideration of the economic impact. We expect a stronger moral compass, and fiscal responsibility from our leaders in the House and Senate.
