Acclaimed actress and political activist Alyssa Milano has taken to twitter to condemn the horrific Trumpcare bill that Republicans plan to vote on tomorrow. The ill-conceived, poorly understood legislation will strip healthcare from millions of Americans in need.
In the hopes of knocking some sense into Republicans, Milano is sending videos from congressional constituents directly to their representatives and senators. The moving clips depict people beseeching Congress not to take away their healthcare.

Republicans aren’t known for their compassion, but hopefully these videos will put a human face to those affected by the destruction of Obamacare. These people are just a minuscule sampling of those who will be affected if Congress passes Trumpcare.
And to those who think Milano should keep quiet, she offers a parting shot:
Those that tell me not to tweet politics because I'm an uninformed celebrity are the same people that voted for… an uninformed celebrity.
