As David noted, it is very important we flood the lines. I just called Shelly Moore Capito. Because I know a lot of you freeze up, here is what I said so if you want to write a script before you call, maybe use some variant of this:
Hi, good morning. My name is John Cole and I am calling from Bethany, WV. I just wanted to urge Sen. Capito to not support any cuts to Medicaid or Medicare. People around here depend on that coverage, and it would just be devastating were Sen. Capito and congress to remove that lifeline for so many people just to give more tax cuts to the rich.
I’d also like to remind Senator Capito that she is running in 2020, and it certainly won’t help her campaign if tens of thousands of constituents are receiving notification that year that they are losing their coverage because of the 2020-2023 or 2020-2027 phaseout is starting.
Also, as a lifelong West Virginian, I know for a fact her father would never supported anything like this.
YMMV. BTW- her father was Arch Moore, who despite a checkered past and convictions, was pretty popular as Governor.
