With Chants of "No confirmation without investigation," and "Believe Dr. Ford," Central Pennsylvanians gathered outside Senator Toomey's office in Harrisburg Friday. Multiple individuals made spontaneous speeches condemning the shameful process of the Senate Judicial Committee of attempting to ram through a shockingly belligerent Brett Kavanaugh, to a position on the U.S. Supreme Court. Noting the unwillingness of the Judicial Committee Chairman, Senator Grassley and other

It's their future...and the young are leading! It is time we followed their lead. Thoughts and prayers have not led to thoughtful action. It's way past time to see some action toward reducing gun violence and improving our safety by addressing the easy availability of guns, improving background checks, more careful monitoring, and the banning of military style weapons for civilian use! Today, we heard compelling arguments from young people at the Tuesdays with(out) Toomey

A Tuesdays with Toomey crowd in Harrisburg gave a stand-in Senator Toomey a piece of their mind today with signs, chants, and tough questions. On behalf of the ever-absent Senator, a good natured Toomey stand-in took questions, answering with predictable Republican talking points to the boos and jeers of a crowd wanting real answers! Speakers impressed upon those present, the importance of not declaring a premature victory in quashing the destructive Graham-Cassidy bill, bu

As Attorney General Sessions announced Trump's decision to rescind "Dreamers' Protections" under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Harrisburg Tuesdays with Toomey gathered to stand in solidarity with the 800,000 Dreamers who will loosed Protections from this action if there is not a legislative remedy.

We must keep up the pressure on Republican Senators to VOTE NO on any effort to repeal the ACA. The next thirty-six hours are CRITICAL...don't let up...keep calling...your efforts are working! Please don't delay...call as many Republican Senators as you can...

Seeking to protect healthcare and access to Planned Parenthood services for millions, local citizens (CLICK to see photos) joined others in Washington D.C. yesterday to have their voices heard. The stories of individuals who's lives were changed and/or protected by access to services provided by Planned Parenthood, and treatment afforded them by Medicaid and the ACA, strengthened the commitment of those present to fight the cruel GOP bills currently in the Senate to repeal th

Playing off the recent New York Times article that sought to "humanize" Senator Toomey as a keeper of bees, the Harrisburg Tuesdays with Toomey group rallied today to protect healthcare for the millions at risk. Despite the recent spin, citizen advocates are not fooled about Toomey's immoral effort to pay back Big Money through a huge tax cut on the backs of millions who stand to lose their healthcare if the GOP Wealth Care Bill is passed.
