Called Grass's office on Public appearances and AHCA [View all]


Davenport office:
1) Grassley has no public meetings over the holiday therefore has nothing on his schedule (what hogwash!) - he does have 9 private meetings

2) then asked the staffer to convey my feelings on the health care bill. We ended up getting into an argument.
- He told me there was no bill (BS - They had a draft last week)
- He said there would be no cuts to the long term disabled (my BIL). I said you just told me there was no bill - WTF? You can't tell me you know the details!
- there was no tax cuts, it was a roll back of tax increases by Obama! I said that sounds like a huge tax cut to me with rich folks averaging $7million.

I said Jesus Christ I didn't call you to have you repeat the same lies I hear on Fox to me on the phone. You should do some reading up on this bill!
