July 7, 2016 realmhchange Legislation, policy, Tim Murphy, Uncategorized

On July 6th, H.R. 2646 (“Murphy Bill”) passed out of the House of Representatives, 422-2.

The two representatives who voted against the measure are Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) and Rep. Thomas H. Massie (R-KY).

While we are disappointed, we are no less determined in our efforts for #RealMHChange. Stay tuned for updates.
