[Report]
Blast these 18 Congressmen on Twitter & social media to tell them to vote no.
TAKEAWAY: The BRIDGE Act, which would extend DACA, could be voted on as early as tomorrow (Tuesday, Sep. 5). It will pass the Senate. To pass the House, however, it must get 23 Republican votes. Already, 13 Republicans have co-sponsored it (and will thus vote for it). Thus, it would only need 10 more Republican votes. Of the remaining Republicans in the House, the most likely Republicans to vote for the BRIDGE Act are those who are not yet co-sponsors, but (i) who voted against defunding DACA in 2015 (13 of them), (ii) whose predecessors voted against defunding DACA in 2015 (3 of them), or (iii) who have publicly stated Trump shouldn’t repeal DACA (2 of them). We must put pressure on those 18 Representatives to vote against the BRIDGE Act.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND
1. Mike Coffman (R-CO) is sponsoring the BRIDGE ACT, which would enact DACA as law and extend it for 3 years. It will likely pass in the Senate, but it will be close in the House.
>Coffman’s bipartisan bill, the BRIDGE ACT, essentially puts DACA into law and extends it for a three-year period. Coffman said Thursday that if Trump ends DACA he would use procedural maneuvers to force a vote on the Bridge Act (without requiring the bill to pass committee)
>That vote is expected to happen Tuesday…Coffman believes it has enough support to pass.
>SENATE SIDE: In the Senate, the Bridge Act is co-sponsored by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), who have said that it would likely have the support to pass.
>HOUSE SIDE: At the moment, Coffman’s Bridge Act has just 12 Republican co-sponsors. In theory, the Bridge Act could come to the floor, and pass, if 23 Republicans joined Coffman and every House Democrat to support it.

>A. Per WaPo, 7 Republicans have urged Trump not to rescind DACA and said they would support seeking protections for DACA recipients.
>B. There are 13 Republican co-sponsors of the BRIDGE ACT.
>C. In 2015, 26 House Republicansvoted against an amendmentthat would have defunded DACA. 20 of those 26 Republicans remain in the House. Of the remaining 6 seats, 3 are held by Republicans who took office since 2015.

why is the first I'm fucking hearing about this on here of all places

Tell her that she'd be betraying her voters if she voted in favor of the BRIDGE Act, and also if she does so then she should consider investing in a larger social media team because we will meme her the fuck out of office in 2018. Conversely, she can vote no, gain some good will, and maybe the autists here will be in her corner if she ever needs some internet support in the future.

I have no idea. I only came across it by chance an hour ago. Maybe they are trying to sneak it through?

Great I can't wait for Congress to do it's job and enact laws that the president can't get rid of via his executive branch, the way our government works.
Just like the sanctions bill, this is the kind of bipartisanship Washington needs.

Treason all of them.

>her voters if she voted in favor of the BRIDGE Act,
Most voters want to throw out innocent kids who did nothing wrong?

Can't wait for BASED Trump to sign this into law soon.

Lindsay Graham...I should have known she was behind this.
