Trump Blocks Cancer Patient On Twitter After She Criticizes Healthcare Bill

Trump don't want to hear from this person any more, I wonder WHY?

/*
Informative post, Brother Deacon Ron Gray.

...You know, Brother Ron, no one should be surprised at anything vile this individual does. He doesn't want to hear from anyone except his kin and leader of the "Hordes of Hell - Beelzebub and co.!"

Peace...

'G'

Thank you Brother Doctor Gregory V Boulware, Esq, as a servant to the people it is a blessing to be at this level, informative.

Hordes of Hell - Beelzebub and co.!" Interesting...

As usual with Farron Cousins I'm left wondering what the real story is.

Packard, who has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, has regularly been tweeting at Trump about health care and other topics at least since the election.

Laura PackardI'm a digital/new media and communications strategist, Democratic political consultant, voting rights advocate, writer and small business owner. I've worked on campaigns from city council to U.S. Senate and with small to large non-profits across the country over the past decade. And as of the summer of 2017, I'm living with cancer (stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma).

I'm a partner at PowerThru Consulting, a growing national progressive digital consulting shop. At PowerThru we help nonprofits and Democratic campaigns use technology to spread their message and organize and activate their supporters online, to create change offline. We have staff in several states, and work with non-profits of all kinds and on progressive state and federal issues, campaigns and elections of all kinds. We've won four Reed awards and three Pollies for our work to date (including Best Congressional Website in both, Best State/Local Organization Website, Best County/Local/Judicial Website).

I'm a regular contributor to Campaigns & Elections magazine, Huffington Post, and Epolitics.

I have a deep interest in voting rights, elections and election-related issues, having served as an election inspector, precinct chairperson, on the absentee count board, and an electronic poll book specialist for the City of Ann Arbor in the decades since the gubernatorial election of 1998. I've also worked with voter registration groups, Secretary of State candidates and elected officials in several states, and on voter registration and access issues nationally and in specific states. My longtime work around voting rights advocacy led me to start up a new group in 2015, Voter Rights Action. Join us to get occasional email updates about voting rights news and actions you can take around the country.

I love my work at the intersection of technology and politics, and I also love to teach and help others use technology to effectively accomplish their organizational mission. I often share best practices at national and regional conferences such as AAPC, Art of Political Campaigning, CampaignTech, Campaigns & Marketing Summit, NTC, Netroots Nation, Organizing New York/Organizing 2.0 and RootsCamp, webinars for Progressive Majority, Salsa Labs and others, and trainings in-person for small groups around the country including for Wellstone's Advanced Campaign Management School, Amalgamated Transit Union, Camp Wellstone, Center for Progressive Leadership, Clean Air Task Force, Democracy for America, HRC, New Leaders Council and New Organizing Institute. I've worked with and trained at non-profits and campaigns in several states over the years, covering online strategy development, organizing and outreach, fundraising, messaging, advertising and social media. I'm more than happy to talk your ear off about email deliverability too, if you'll let me.

I'm a veteran of many great campaigns and non-profit organizations over the past decade around the country. Initially caught the campaign bug while phone banking for Clinton in '92, but it took a decade (and the contentious 2000 election) to really set in. In 2004 I started off doing field organizing for Kerry/Edwards in my precinct, ward, and then the county. I served as the Secretary for the Washtenaw County Democratic Party the following year as well as on the County Executive Committee and on the Michigan Democratic Party State Central Committee. I became a partner in MichiganLiberal.com, and helped run a major Michigan political blog and do Michigan blogger organizing for a couple years. In 2006 I moved to East Lansing to be Senator Stabenow's Internet Communications Director for her successful re-election campaign, which won statewide approval by nearly 16 points. In 2007-8 I started up my own consulting shop and was Internet Director for the Coalition for Progress 527 (the largest PAC in the history of Michigan, which helped take back and hold the House from '06-'10), as well as designing and setting up the 50 State Blog project for BlogPAC nationally and working with bloggers in startup mode around the country, and working with then-Congressman Mark Schauer's successful campaign and other congressional races in the Midwest.

In the latter half of 2008 I moved to Washington DC as the Interim Executive Director for the New Organizing Institute in Washington DC, the groundbreaking national new media training organization for the progressive movement. At NOI I also worked with national voter protection groups in the runup to the 2008 Presidential election. In 2009-10 the AFL-CIO sent me to the key state of Arkansas to run communications around the fight for passage of health care reform and labor law reform through the U.S. Senate. In 2010 I was the New Media Director for the Bill Halter for U.S. Senate primary campaign in Arkansas, which used the Internet in innovative ways and raised over 3.5 million dollars online in 3 1/2 months to fight for progressive Democratic values. I then was Director of the Secretary of State Project national 527 in the remainder of the 2010 cycle, which worked on important Secretary of State races around the country to support candidates that would protect our right to vote.

In 2011 I joined forces with PowerThru and moved back to Ann Arbor. In the 2012 cycle I worked with a variety of national non-profits on digital strategy, primarily USAction/TrueMajority - a multi-issue national online powerhouse with over 500K members, and also We Are Wisconsin during the critical 2011 elections, and African American Voter REP in the leadup to election day - the largest urban voter registration and participation project in the state of California. In the 2014 cycle I worked with several campaigns and PACs around the country again, rolling out websites and advising on strategy on federal and statewide races in states including Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, and California. In the 2016 cycle, I worked with several campaigns and PACs in California, so election night was a happy/sad event. In 2017, I headed out west and moved to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada.

Many of my presentations and trainings can be seen in written form on the PowerThru blog. In 2012 I helped rewrite the Democracy for America training manual's online organizing chapter, including contributing two new sections on online advertising and fundraising. Both of those sections are cross-posted on our blog. I also rewrote and updated the online organizing training for Camp Wellstone, and Camp Wellstone's Advanced Campaign Management School at the end of 2013.

I'm a Plymouth-Canton High School alum ('94), and University of Michigan alum, B.S. Computer Science, '97. I worked for several years in the tech industry in Ann Arbor prior to moving into the campaign world and on the road. I was a Michigan Political Leadership Program public policy fellow in '05, and also an alum of the inaugural New Organizing Institute bootcamp class in '06 and the Wellstone Advanced Campaign Management School in '07.

I served for several years as the Secretary of the Michigan Sailing Club, and on the board of the Women Business Owners of SE Michigan, and volunteered in the community for Michigan Theater and others. I recently served as the President of the P-CCS Alumni Association, on the board of the Martha Cook Alumnae Association, on the Elections Committee for Netroots Nation and as an election worker for the city of Ann Arbor on election days. I'm on the Democratic Municipal Officials Political Council also.

Now that you researched what's in the video report and also provided a link to a story, what do you think about this Republican 3rd chance to repeal and replace Obamacare?

I have no idea why Trump blocked me. Which tweets he saw or didn't. Or exactly when. I noticed Weds am and took the screen shot.

"Or exactly when."

Packard retweeted McCain, that he is a no. I have no idea Ron if it will pass, but I hope so. The individual and employer mandatea mandates are illegal, unfair, and detrimental to both persons and small (eg. urban, main street) business.

What about the millions of Americans who will lose their Health Care, if the Republicans past this bill, do you care about them?

The Constitution is the law of the land and must be followed. If you don't like it Ron there is a way to change it so quite crying and do it.

What about the people that have health Care now, they will lose it, if this bill is past. Do you care about the millions that will lose their health Care, do you care about that?

I care about people who need health care. The Constitution gives Congress the power to raise taxes for the common good and health care qualifies as a common good. The individual and employer mandates are not taxes. This bill would repeal them so I support it.

The fact is Ron we are now seeing the insidiousness of the ACA play out. Even on the Republican side there are those like John McCain who will happily discard the supreme law of the land.

This Healthcare Bill needed to go through a process which they did not do, that is the reason why this 7 year old bill failed to come to the floor for a vote.
