Republicans are planning to vote on AHCA this week and, as many other diaries here have said, the vote is going to be close. Congressman Frelinghuysen was a no when AHCA it was first coming up for a vote. He hasn’t yet officially stated where he stands on this new, even worse version of AHCA, but word is coming out that he is leaning yes. I have heard that the House leadership put a lot of pressure on him, including threats that his Chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee could be taken away from him if he votes no. Anyone who lives in NJ-11, please call him and tell him to vote no.

Trump won NJ-11, usually a solid Republican district, by less than 1%. Congressman Frelinghuysen may be afraid of losing his chairmanship if he votes no, but he needs to be reminded that he is in danger of losing his seat in 2018 if he votes yes. We need to keep the pressure on him!

Here’s his contact info:
