Al Green protested against a tyrannical man. That man was trying to take away the Healthcare of millions of people and Al Green was the one Democrat who cared enough to do something and make a stand.

If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.
This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.

[Context: In this video, Sean Cummings is seen speaking to Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters referring to the death of student Nex Benedict].
Spread the word.
