Why did the Senate do this vote-a-rama? The vote-a-rama gave Democrats the opportunity to force their GOP colleagues to go on the record on a host of politically dicey subjects, including Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the wealthy.

What did Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts vote nay on? This is a non-exhaustive list, but it has most of them. If you want to see the full list of look these up in more detail, please look on the U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes page. These are the things Fischer and Ricketts are now on record that they DO NOT WANT Nebraskans to have.

While it is best that you call, I'll provide the email contact pages here as well, if you feel emboldened to let them know how you feel about their votes. Highly recommend contacting Don Bacon's office as well, as the budget has passed the Senate and is now sitting in the House. We only need 2 Republicans to join the non-Trump team.
