Fear of ice, freezing temperatures and the bad luck dateline can't stop the most dedicated Kansas City Prez Obama loyalists from focusing their rage against local Republicans.
To wit . . .
CHECK THIS WORD OF JACKSON COUNTY PROTEST AGAINST THE IMPENDING REPEAL OF OBAMACARE IN KANSAS CITY!!!
Whilst some of the GOP are getting cold feet . . . The move toward repeal without a backup plan continues to move forward with lightning speed.
The reality is, post-election . . . This is the REAL Prez Obama farewell party . . .

Jackson County Democrats: Let Senator Blunt Hear Your Voice on the Repeal of ACA
The U.S. Senate approved legislation early this morning, Thursday, January 12, to begin the process of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Tomorrow/Friday morning there will be a national action to let the public and Senators (in our case, Roy Blunt) know that's NOT OKAY. Missouri Jobs with Justice and Missouri Health Care for All are reaching out to request the participation of supporters of this effort. These actions will be happening in several cities in Missouri, and in hundreds of cities across the country.
THE KANSAS CITY EVENT WILL BE FROM 8:00-8:30 AM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 13
WHAT: Rally outside Sen. Roy Blunt's office to protest the repeal of the ACA
WHEN: Friday, January 13th, 8am - 8:30am
WHERE: Sen. Roy Blunt's office in KC (1000 Walnut St #1560, Kansas City, MO 64106)
WHY: The U.S. Senate has started the process of repealing the ACA. We want to make sure people know what is happening and make sure Sen. Blunt knows we want to keep our healthcare!
We won't be going inside Blunt's office, rather, we will be on the sidewalk.
If possible, please bring home-made signs opposing repeal of the ACA.
It's supposed to be cold Friday, but not icy until Saturday. The Kansas City Public Library at 14 W. 10th has a public lot just two blocks west of Senator Blunt's office. Blunt's office is at 10th and Walnut and the library parking lot is at 10th and Baltimore.
If you can't show up in person, and even if you can, please contact:
Senator Blunt's D.C. office number is 202-224-5721, and Kansas City 816-471-7141, to express opposition.
Senator McCaskill's D.C. office is 202-224-6154 and KC 816-421-1639, if you would like to thank her for her support.
Although Members of Congress in the House have, undoubtedly, already decided how they will vote, they are voting tomorrow. You can reach Senators or Representatives via the Capitol Switchboard, at 202-224-3121.
