thisfinecrewThe Senate has already bounced this POS bill. They're not even going to bring it up for a vote; instead, they're working on their own version.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't keep pounding on the House members who voted for it (and, obscenely, celebrated it). Make their lives hell. Taunt them with reports of the money you've donated to their opponents, or to groups that support their opponents. With any luck, we'll see a flood of them deciding that they "need more time with their families" in early 2018.
