This is the text of a letter I FAXED to Sen. Bill Cassidy this afternoon. I faxed it because it's just too easy for them to ignore a non-constituent email.
The fax information is so that you can consider doing the same.
If nothing else, we will tie up his office fax machine so that he can't get the faxes from rich lobbyists.

Dear Senator Cassidy:
I am writing to you to express my extreme concern over the irrational and unscientific decisions being made by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Mr. Kennedy assured you under oath during his confirmation hearing that he would not attack or dismantle the country’s vaccine and communicable disease infrastructure. You took him at his word and despite hundreds of doctors warning you – and even Mr. Kennedy’s own family pleading with you to reject him as unfit for this role – you still voted to confirm him.
His attacks on reputable scientists and responsible public health practices demonstrate that he was misleading you during his testimony and that he has no intention of protecting Americans from preventable diseases because of his obsession with false and dangerous theories that have no basis in science.
You know this is true. The time has come for you to publicly disavow your vote for Mr. Kennedy and work for his immediate removal before thousands of Americans become ill or die because of his failed stewardship of our public health system.
Medical professionals nationwide have been clear about this threat. You are in a position to do something about it. History will remember how you and your senate colleagues respond to this clear and present danger.
Feel free to contact me if you need additional information or assistance. Please write to tell me what you’re doing about this. Thanks.
I don’t even remember how to fax!
