Our work has made a difference. We must keep up our efforts and slam the door shut on this terrible bill. Continue to use the DWMC call-in action plan to stop it. We are calling not only Sen. Toomey, but 10 sway-able Senators. Special thanks to those who attended the Memorial March for Healthcare in Erie on Friday.
