How they repeatedly voted against 911 first responders, how they selfishly voted themselves a better health plan than the plan they want for everyone else to suffer, how they want to take away the security of everyone's health
care PROTECTIONS, including, very important to keep repeating, employer based, to give almost a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the rich. Explain that the inheritance tax only applies to estates over millions and millions of dollars, less that 1% of the population. Yet urgency to eliminate the Estate Tax before the Koch Brothers or Sheldon Adelson or any of their old filthy puppetmasters (or in Issa's case, worth 220 million, himself) die fuels
their ridiculous obsession. Surely there have been GOP votes in the House against legalizing marijuana and cite the GOP budget they all just voted for that squelches drug treatment. The list is endless of their repugnant positions and votes.

Republican votes and priorities need to be publicized and stressed. Running an antiTrump campaign is indirect and lazy, he's not the Republican needing outster to win back the House. We need all the Ca Republicans out of office and their voting records are their greatest enemy to reelection. Antitrump campaign blame stops at Trump, they can wiggle away from it. But an anti GOP incumbent campaign and their own despicable voting records made public, that they cannot fight against.

Isn't it time to stop letting these jerks get away with the fraud of voting one way then sanctimoniously claiming they represent the interests of their constituents. It's the hypocrisy of this contradiction that has fed the anger and resistance of these town halls. Dems have got to start fighting intelligently, recognizing where the real fight and GOP vulnerability lies to win back the House and Senate.
