Alright, Louisiana folks! One last chance to call Sen. Bill Cassidy's office today ahead of Tuesday's committee vote on RFK Jr. Cassidy could single-handedly derail the nomination of by voting NO in committee. If Cassidy votes no he doesn’t even make it to the floor. Senate Majority Leader John Thune can still bring RFK, Jr. up for a vote in the full Senate but 60 votes would be needed for cloture on a resolution discharging the committee from consideration of his nomination.
Call his DC office Phone: (202)-224-5824
Or his Baton Rouge Phone: (225)-929-7711
Email: cassidy.senate.gov[1] -> "contact" -> "get in touch"
Cassidy’s chief of staff’s email address is: james_quinn@cassidy.senate.gov
If you've called already, call again, and recruit a friend to do the same!
Good reasons to be cynical, but could prevent an awful lot of harm.

I have called several times and left several messages. I have to say, at least Scalise and Kennedy have people answering the phones. I gave them an earful, lol.

Done. I used the resist bot. It doesn’t really matter that he wants to disrupt the US healthcare system if he has open disdain for settled science and public health.

I emailed my concerns. I’ll call too. But, honestly, I have very little faith he will do the right thing. But hey! Prove me wrong Senator Cassidy!

I sent a message through his website. He has to know RFK is not qualified. It's just whether or not he decides to vote his conscience or to appease Trump. Actually I would prefer if Trump nominated Cassidy. He is the one that conceived the process for surprise billing and dispute resolution. He could make meaningful reforms.

I really pity people who think "we need to fight Big Pharma" means we should flat out reject the scientific field of medicine. Like fucks sake, learn one critical thinking skill.

What we need is a person who does not work for Big Pharma. You might not like RFK, but think of him like chemo. Our health system has cancer and we need chemotherapy and radiation to attempt to save it. Every other solution that congress has tried are just sugar for cancer cells.
