Every Republican voting "no" is a great help.

It's especially a great help because it will teach them all that they can say "no" to their party's worst idiocy.

I live in VT - calling my Congressman, Peter Welch, will do absolutely nothing - like all Democrats he is a very safe "no".

I hope that everyone here from a red or purple state is calling their Congress person and asking all their friends to do so as well.

The New York Times has been tracking this and from the top it seems they recently updated it. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/03/20/us/politics/health-care-whip-count.html?_r=0 Very nice list near the bottom of where all the Republicans stand.
