The Fight

Open your ears, hear the noise, as the people yell and shout.

Screams and chants, they go on for days upon days, yelling trying to make their voices heard. The people yelling for their rights to health care and food. Over the course of the past two weeks, people from across the country have come together to stand up to the senate as a new bill has been placed in front of them.

The bill handed to the public, leaving them scared and doused in fear as they could possibly lose the only thing holding them together. Making cuts on Medicaid and SNAP, leaving many hopeless if they have to come face to face with the passing of this bill. Making a person choose for themselves or for a family on whether or not they should choose health care or food, that is not how it should have to be.

Although as some relief was brought to those who fight, as the voting on the bill was pushed to after the July 4^th recess. Leaving the public only two more weeks to change the senators minds to show them that this monstrosity of a bill will bring them nothing but harm.

Rally upon rally, bringing people to the Capitol to fight, that is where these people are. Standing up to our government and expressing every emotion felt such as anger and sadness. Help from those in the senate and other representatives, as they stand side by side with the public showing their fellow colleagues that they also don't want this bill to pass.

Mothers or future mothers stand outside the walls of the Capitol yelling for plan parenthood, as it could possibly be taken away from them. Sharing their stories on how it has been there for them since the beginning.

People of faith gathering together in midst of the night to stand for what they believe to be held true and right. Standing for those who need these programs in order to live and make it through their daily lives.

We, the people in this country, in the United States need to stand tall. America is this evidently great country, but we won't be if we take things that are necessary for life away from our people. It's as though we have gone back in time with this bill, but we need to keep pushing forward. We the people of the United States need to make sure that this bill will be ripped apart till it no longer exists.

A battle in our midst, that could keep trailing on for sometime. We need to stand tall and firm to fight for our fellow citizens and for these programs that change lives everyday. We cannot be pushed down, we will not be pushed down. Fight for what you believe in.
