Why is this hearing important?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have his first - and most important - confirmation hearing on Wednesday, January 29 at 10am at 215 Dirksen Senate Office Building (SD-215) in Washington, D.C.
This is a Finance Committee Hearing and Kennedy must get enough votes to make it out of the committee to get to a full floor vote in the Senate. We need a BIG SHOWING OF SUPPORT to make sure the Senate knows America supports Kennedy becoming our next HHS Secretary!
Earlier this week, Senator Bernie Sanders made a disgusting display by bringing Big Pharma puppet Dr. Paul Offit to a Senate briefing to spread lies about Kennedy.
Sanders is part of the Finance Committee.
The vote count is tight.
Bernie Sanders is trying to coopt MAKE AMERRICA HEALTHY AGAIN (MAHA), reframe it all about food, and vote NO on Kennedy. We need a huge showing in DC so everyone knows Bobby has the support of America!
GET A SEAT ON THE BUS NOW!
TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME!
