I'm going to write a couple of senators and tell them how hateful they were during his confirmation hearings. They need to know.

Whew! I was worried! If he doesn't get a resounding yes vote by Congress, then all those who voted against him should pack their bags and resign. Their true allegiance is not with the American public who needs better health outcomes, but to Big Medicine that is using medicine as their cash cow. If they don't resign, a replacement for them should be in place at the next election! Pence and Durbin should be ashamed of themselves. I have lost too many friends in the last 5 years that should have never happened. I pray for their souls. I pray for all the families that have to deal with their child who has been permanently harmed by poor medical decisions. We can not continue to go down the wrong paths in medicine and the physicians and pharmacists must take back their practice. We need to be healers.

May their consciences be seared.

It’s beyond the ethics - it’s damned evil.

Lost 2 last week. Untimely. Not sure its possible to reform institutions where greater than 98% are corrupt. Nice guys a dime a dozen. They are making us wait another week on full Senate confirm for RFK. That gives them time to grift and co-ordinate.

DJT knows the playbook, count on it.

Get to it, do it! They need to know that. I on the other hand will call some of the senators that I called and thank them...I know they will be surprised as to receive a call of gratitude as I burned down their lines to remind them of their responsibility to the people

Done. I wrote them yesterday, but needed to add a comment based on this vote. So they will be in the mail in a couple of minutes.

Excellent, WE CANNOT LET UP the PRESSURE YET! The full vote for confirmation is next weeK sometime, the date and time isn't announced yet for the senate vote. I think I will also target about 10 to 15 senators myself with some reminders. We DO NOT WANT THIS CONFIRMATION TO SLIP AWAY NOW!!

Hi Betty, I want to ask you a question which will probably sound dumb, but I’m not very articulate with words and I’m wondering if you or somebody reading this would write out what I would write to some of my senators in my state of Michigan.

I just wouldn’t know how to word it, but I was gonna say if you wrote it out how you would say it I’ll just copy and paste what you say and I’ll send that to my senators. I know this is probably a weird request, but I would greatly appreciate it. Have a blessed day. 🇺🇸👍🥰

What you say to them depends on whether you are trying to convince them to vote for him or blasting them for voting against him in the Finance Committee vote. But just speak from the heart regardless of what it is you want to say.

Ok thank you for replying Betty 👍🥰

I wrote too, but as I think about it, they’ve already made their millions so they can retire wealthy no matter what….well…maybe they just want millions more!

Amazing that Warren has demanded that Kennedy not participate in any vaccine litigation going forward but it's acceptable for her and her fellow dems to receive pharma money. What a hypocrite. I feel like mailing back her tee shirt - when I supported her for President. I'm most disappointed about her. I truly believed her to be a woman of integrity. Boy was I wrong. It's a sad day indeed. I wrote about this very thing today in my substack.

Agreed, I thought she had SOME integrity - at least - until I saw what she said to RFK, how she spoke to him and her attitude to his replies. It was so like a child about to have all their toys taken away!

she was a screeching jackal, it was pathetic. in her mind, the lilly-white pharma industry can do no wrong and its all big money ambulance chasing. ugh. doesn't matter that pharma has paid out the biggest criminal fines in history. oh no, Bobby is just a grifter.

I WISH Bobby would have said: I'll make ya a deal - I'll agree to never litigate against pharma when YOU senators agree to never take pharma money. that would have been the mike drop from hell ;)

Amen!!! There is hope for America and our food supplies. (I feel sad for the people so completely deluded that they don't see how much Big Food and Big Pharma oppose him, and why. He is an existential threat to their regulatory capture.)

Any politician who votes against a new and fresh approach to improve the health of Americans, (especially the children) is a head scratcher. Or is it?

I find it disturbing to observe Club R and Club D conforming to their party to vote for or against a person NOT based on their merit, but pressured for consensus by their club..

TALK ABOUT SICK.

Watching tirades, rudeness, ignorance, on display by the Senate Finance Committee during the confirmation hearing was such a spectacle, the word 'unhinged' is trending.

May each Democrats lose their next election for their blatant corruption in defending corporations and vaccine companies over health of America's children.

Disgusted.

Thrilled for Bobby.

They are defending their owners. They all take $$$$ from Big pHARMa!! Bobby is a threat to their wallets!

Wow!!! Very well said.!! Mary do I have your permission to copy and paste what you said and I can even say that you wrote it and share it with the senators in my state.

I just posted a comment up above to a Betty asking if she would write out something that I could copy and paste and send to the senators because I’m not very articulate at all with words and I would really like to send a letter that makes sense and hits home. Thank you 😊

If the Senate doesn't vote promptly, I'd suggest Trump impose a tariff on them.

Thanks for the laughs.

Someone suggested, a day or so ago, that if RFK is not accepted,that Mr. Trump should re-nominate him, so that even more dirt can be exposed. Don't know if that's possible (a re-nomination of same person) but an interesing idea.

God speed!! I’m calling my Senators now to say RFK,Jr. needs to be confirmed.

Figures, anyone surprised? I hope, I PRAY, that all the evil, and ALL the evidence, covered up and hidden now will be brought to light, right away, including and I’m probably misspelling it, snaggelfritz!

Yep! That’s exactly what I meant! But there have been times I have typed it and it wouldn’t post. Thank you!!!

If Democrats unite in opposing him, he cannot afford more than three GOP defections. Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) are regarded as key swing voters

For Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, you can contact her via email using the online service on her official website. Alternatively, you can reach her office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-6665.

For Republican Senator Susan Collins from Maine, you can email her through the contact form on her official website2. Her Washington, D.C. office phone number is (202) 224-2523.

For Republican Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, you can contact him via email using the contact form on his official website4. His Washington, D.C. office phone number is (202) 224-2541. https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ContactForm

To CoMtnGrl: Thank you so much for the contacts! Done! ✅

I just left message to Murdowski, and sent emails to Collins and MCConnell.

For our children!!!!! We know the truth! And we will keep up this fight. RFK is our David and he is facing Goliath (and all Goliath’s money grabbing friends).

But- we know who was behind Goliath!

This battle will not end here unfortunately……

There should be a fair amount of anxiety about opposing Team Trump at this point.

That is not likely to decrease since DOGE commando-teams took over the payroll software at Treasury and shut down the vending-machine at USAID.

This is a coup d'etat in progress, and it can go anywhere, but right now it is going against the MIC "blob" that killed JFK, RFK, MLK and brought us all the slaughters in Vietnam and "Global War on Terror".

(What might they unleash upon us in this, their moment of crisis?)

So Cassidy, yes?, voted for him? I am so relieved that he is past those nasty rude attack dogs.

The more they delay the full vote, the more certain I am that Kennedy will be confirmed. It gives us even more time to write our reps in congress. I already have. I'm a constituent of Rand Paul and he voted "YES"
