We Want A Refund

http://www.wewantarefund.com/

Republican senators won't hold a hearing or vote on Supreme Court nominee Chief Judge Merrick Garland. They aren't doing their jobs, so we want our money back.

Here's how much Senate Republicans owe American taxpayers—state by state.

Senate Republicans have taken $82,187,396.33 from American taxpayers to pay themselves and fund their offices since the day they refused to do their jobs and hold hearings and a vote on Judge Garland. That's $1,332,986.00 per day. We want a refund.

STEP 2: TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT YOU WANT A REFUND

FUCK YOU, Governor McBigot on the check we had to send to NC for additional
taxes this year.

The Republicans in NC have decided that Social Security recipients have to pay taxes on that--
so last year we had to write a check. This year we had to write an even bigger check to
NC. And after they passed HB 2, I really wanted to not pay them. Or at least write an
F U message.

I didn't. Don't need the hassle of some audit.
