US Take Action: There are 3 Republicans We Need to Call for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Senator John Fetterman will not vote for Kennedy
With Fetterman publicly saying he will vote NO on Kennedy, it is unlikely any Democrats will vote YES for him, so we need to call Republicans who are on the fence:
TAKE ACTION NOW!
Call these 3 Senators now and tell them vote YES to confirm Kennedy as HHS Secretary
Mitch McConnell (202) 224-2541
(currently not taking messages?)
Susan Collins (202) 224-2523
Lisa Murkowski (202) 224-6665

Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has been considered by many pundits as the most likely Democrat to vote for the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, but Fetterman announced last week that he will not vote for Kennedy. If Fetterman will not vote for Kennedy, it is highly unlikely that any other Democrats in the Senate will either.
Kennedy will need 51 of the 53 Republican votes in the Senate to win outright. Three of those votes are in doubt; Mitch McConnell (KY), Susan Collins (ME), and Lisa Murkowski (AK). If Kennedy loses those votes, and no other Republican Senators vote against him, he could get a 50/50 tie, which would allow Vice President JD Vance to break the tie, most likely for Kennedy, similar to the vote for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
A vote is expected by insiders next Wednesday, Feb. 12.
Please get on the phone today to the Republican Senators who may vote against Kennedy.
Call their Washington offices and be POLITE!
And then contact your own two US Senators from your state.

JD Vance, who could be the tie-breaker, is in Europe this week and not expected to be back for the vote. It has been suggested that, when we contact them, we stress non-partisanship and heal the divide. I would add respectful debate, free speech, no censorship, being able to question, etc.
I call and write and get the same lame responses from Schumer and Gillibrand.
