If you’re scratching your head and asking yourself why funding for items like the EPA, Planed Parenthood, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and oh yeah…Obamacare contained within it, you’re not alone.

Feel free to contact your elected officials if this concerns you, I’d advise against contacting either Sen. Stabenow or Sen. Peters since their caucus was last seen high-fiving one another at the fast one they just pulled on republican “leadership”..
But, if you want to contact your representative, either use the Capitol Switchboard number: (202) 225-3121 or use this link.
One last thing, did I mention that they want to vote on this by this weekend?
