He could shed a million watt light on this whole situation, but would rather stay in Washington D.C. touting his dying healthcare plan. So much for Hope and Change.

Thank you for your action and your sacrifice.

For the rest of us — as the previous commenter mentioned, definitely contact your congressional representatives as well as the White House directly.

It raises the profile of the work you’re all doing. No, he’s not going to stop MTR, but he is going to make enough noise to get y’all more media coverage which is exactly what the issues needs.
