"This tax bill is probably gonna force 400 billions dollars in automatic PayGo cuts, and Mick Mulvaney from the Office Of Management and Budget is individually responsible for choosing and implementing those cuts. He thinks people on disability are just slackers , So what happens, what should I tell my son, or what should you tell my son, if you pass this bill and he cuts funding , and I can't get a ventilator?
I was healthy a year ago, I was running on the beach. I'm 33, I have an 18 month old son, and out of nowhere I was diagnosed with ALS, which, you know, has a life expectancy of 3 to 4 years. No treatment, no cure. I probably will need to go on a ventilator to live.
My life depends on it - I need you to make your vote match your principles senator, and for the rest of your life you will be proud if you vote this bill down. You will be proud, and on your death bed I promise you, you will remember voting no, and if you vote yes, you won't feel better about yourself and your grandchildren won't be proud of you.
This is your moment to be an American hero. Please. We are all going to be watching you. Please , thank you.
