Thank you for the bill! That has been the biggest question coming in from my constituents right now is asking what about us hourly workers with no PTO or FMLA options, or even health insurance. We must do all that we can to protect Americans, no matter the job or income level.

Imagine the hourly worker with a low fever and cough, but no paid sick leave. He can't afford to miss a day's paycheck. He's thinking of going to work Monday. There's a bill, sitting on the Senate floor RIGHT NOW, that solves his problem. But McConnell says the bill can wait?

I wish they would help truckers. Nothing in that bill provides for us. Shippers are starting to close. I am terrified. I know I say it daily.

I wish I knew, the trucking industry is such a vital part of this country. We must do all that we can to protect everyone! So many industries are about to get hit hard. I thank god that we have strong dems in office that will help all of us that truly need. This is just 1st steps
