This is a call for Republicans to stand up for 9/11 first responders, many of whom have died as a direct result of inhaling toxic fumes that fateful day.

If those Republicans do not do what is right for these courageous men and women, vote them out!

 

What a shame that they voted themselves tax breaks while brave and courageous men and women have died, waiting for the 9/11 Health Bill to pass so that they could have the health care they needed to save their lives.

This inaction in terms of failing and refusing to pass this bill is shameful and a disgrace that Republicans are responsible for.

 

America is a better country than this. We ask men and women to put their lives on the line every day, protecting and serving us, yet we, as a country, will deny them full medical care?

Vote these Republicans out! Get rid of these Republicans who are showing us that they do not really care about all Americans.
