April 26, 2016

Sample TWEETS:

We must act. // @TIME: "The #Zika virus is continuing to spread around the globe, as health responders scramble to contain outbreaks."

RT if you agree: @HouseGOP, we must protect American communities & address #FlintWaterCrisis, opioid addiction tragedy & #Zika threat!

Did you know that @SpeakerRyan's the former #Budget Committee Chair? Really something to have missed the deadline on enacting a budget.

FACT: More Americans die every day from drug overdoses than from motor vehicle crashes. @SpeakerRyan, we must address #opioid epidemic!

Here's an idea. #DoYourJob, Republicans! // @AP: @HouseGOP misses #budget deadline amid caucus divisions → http://goo.gl/3MkPST

.@TPM<mailto:.@TPM>: Months after being elected speaker w promise he'd return the House to "regular order" @SpeakerRyan will miss deadline to pass #budget

.@SpeakerRyan<mailto:.@SpeakerRyan> "is on the verge of failing to pass a #budget, an embarrassing setback that underscores deep divisions inside the GOP." - @CNN

.@HouseGOP<mailto:.@HouseGOP> wants a return to the radical trickle-down agenda that shattered our economy & hollowed out the wages of middle-class Americans.

FACT of the day:

"Zika has spread to 43 countries… and is continuing to spread around the globe, as health responders scramble to contain outbreaks and understand the effects of the virus, including serious brain defects like microcephaly. The World Health Organization recently warned that there is potential for a ‘marked increase’ in the number of infections, including in Europe and the US." – Staff Reporter, TIME, Here's where Zika has spread around the world

QUOTE of the day:

"Democrats have introduced an emergency supplemental bill that will provide the swift and decisive action needed to help protect American communities from the Zika virus this summer. While Republicans inexplicably block action to protect America’s expectant mothers from Zika, Democrats are continuing to demand the robust emergency resources American families need." – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
