If you live in Rhode Island, please call Senator Whitehouse’s office and tell him to vote NO on confirming RFK, Jr. as Secretary of Heath and Human Services. No excuses for endangering all of our lives during an age of pandemics. (202) 224-2921.
See Talking Points Memo for context — Josh Marshall is reporting that “I’m told that one senator who Democratic senators and health care advocates have real concerns about [voting to confirm RFK] is none other than Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).”
Marshall also says Senators Fetterman (PA) and Sanders (VT) may be considering voting for RFK, Jr.
If you’re in Pennsylvania, please call Fetterman at (202) 224-4254.
If you’re in Vermont, please call Sanders at (202) 224-5141.
Well, here's a WTF. Dems are worried that Sheldon Whitehouse might vote to confirm RFK jr and that that may warn off GOPs Sens considering voting against him. (Whitehouse and Kennedy are lifelong friends, law school roomies, etc.) talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dems-…

UPDATE: Whitehouse has told people to “chill” about the possibility that he could vote for RFK Jr. I personally do not think January 2025 is a time for people to chill about anything. If you’re in Rhode Island and you agree, please do consider calling his office – 202-224-2921.
