Just so you know what they are saying...

This is the text of a Kamala Harris sent e-mail with the title "Make Them Pay".

Just keep in mind the "Them" they are talking about is us.

Quote
This morning, House Republicans voted to pass President Trump's bill to slash funding for Medicaid, nutrition programs, and other vital programs millions of Americans including those in red states — need to get by. And they did it to fund tax cuts for some of the wealthiest people in America.

That is not hyperbole; that is fact. And when the vote came in, Republicans chanted USA! USA! USA! on the floor of the House.

Shameful.

If you are outraged at what happened and are looking for a way to make House Republicans pay, the Democratic National Committee is looking for lots and lots of donations today to help flip some of those seats.

If that's all you need to hear, contribute here:

Otherwise, here's why we're asking you to give $5, or whatever you can afford today.

$5 because a number of House Republicans who voted yes are in tough, close races — including several seats where Kamala Harris received more votes than Trump.

$5 because Trump is telling Republicans to blame Democrats when their constituents lose health care coverage, and the DNC is organizing in every state to help make sure that doesn't happen.

$5 because the DNC is also leading the charge to take Donald Trump to court on some of the executive orders he has signed.

When the DNC files their next FEC report, it's critical they show a HUGE number of donations today — to send a message to Republicans when this vote comes up in the Senate and back to the House for final passage.

Please make today the day you contribute $5 to the Democratic National Committee. There is no donation too small or too large. They will all be put to work holding Trump and Republicans accountable.

I get these twice a day some days. These f***sticks are unrelenting.

We voted for this and a whole lot more, not just the little bit that we did get.

How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
