Dave Reichert (R) represents Washington’s’s 8th congressional districtwhere over 93,000 individuals, including 18,000 children, receive their health care coverage through the state exchange for Obamacare (ACA) and Medicaid expansion. Yet he voted 19 out of 19 times for ACA repeal to take away their health care. Maybe he forgot 75,000 of them are eligible voters. Let us remind him by spelling it out for him – and painting him a picture.

WA 08which includes Chelan and Kittitas counties and areas Douglas, King, and Pierce counties.

In the Presidential race, Hillary Clinton won this district by 3.0%. In the House race, Reichert beat his opponent by 65,000 votes, helped in large part by some 37,000 Hillary voters crossing over.

A switch of 32,500 votes (half of 65,000) will defeat Reichert in 2018.  We can mobilize 112,000 Health Votes to defeat him.

---

With 81,000 Health Votes versus the 1,000 needed to defeat him, Reichert‘s Vulnerability Ratio is 3.5 (highly vulnerable).

ACT NOW, BEFORE HE VOTES AGAIN. Tweet, Post on his Facebook page, Call, Fax, Write or E-mail Rep. Reichert NOW.

Cut-and-paste suggested letter/email/Fax (personalizing helps):

Dear Honorable Representative Reichert:

Congratulations on your recent election victory by a margin of 65,000 votes.

I am writing to you out of concern about your position on the Affordable Care Act.

If you vote to repeal the ACA, you will be jeopardizing the health and finances of over 93,000 of your constituents, including 18,000 children.

If compassion for their lives doesn’t sway you, let me remind you that 75,000 of these individuals are eligible voters. Combined with the 37,000 Hillary voters who crossed over to vote for you – and who strongly support Obamacare – 112,000 Health Votes may be mobilized against you, come 2018.

We hope you will do the right thing by your constituents and be a voice for their ongoing health and financial well-being by voting against ACA repeal.

Sincerely,

(Your name here)
