This is your reminder to #shopsmall today! $68 of every $100 spent at small businesses stays in the community. That's just one of the many reasons why small businesses are the backbone of local economies. #SmallBusinessSaturday https://t.co/JWPP0Ql9RO — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow is #SmallBusinessSaturday! Don't forget to #shopsmall. And if you’re a small business owner or thinking about starting one, I urge you to visit https://t.co/Hib8SR8Y2Q to see what resources are available to you. — PolitiTweet.org

I received a very special visit last week in our DC office when my friends, Melody and Eugene, from Hemet stopped by. I had the privilege of helping Melody’s mother receive the care she needed and have since enjoyed getting to know the Hawks family. https://t.co/eEoNKYfax6 — PolitiTweet.org

As a boy, my dad’s #Thanksgiving tradition was to work hard until the food was ready, eat, watch football & a movie. So with calloused hands from a hard day’s work in my mother-in-law’s Louisiana Kisatchie Forest yard, from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Let’s eat! 🦃🥧 https://t.co/jf8IKLJZtS — PolitiTweet.org

When companies invest in their employees, everyone wins. I’ve introduced the RAISE Act, which would support our small businesses, stimulate our local economies, and put more money in the pockets of hardworking middle-class families. https://t.co/zN1Tozw4lu — PolitiTweet.org

The Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians fosters community engagement through programs like the Tribal Library, cultural classes, and environmental conservation efforts. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the @MorongoBand for giving away 12,500 turkeys to families in need as part of their Annual Thanksgiving Outreach Program! 🦃 https://t.co/nMisJdfw3u — PolitiTweet.org

From building an outdoor play space for tribal youth to promoting renewable energy systems on tribal lands, the Ramona Band of Cahuilla has used their land and resources to further the health and well-being of residents in our community. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Being able to drink clean water and breathe clean air is not a privilege, but a right for all individuals in our country. Glad residents of Oasis Mobile Home Park will have their voices heard at a community forum held by the @EPA. https://t.co/jZYN8NGt5v — PolitiTweet.org

I've heard from my constituents: we must end the inhumane slaughter of American horses for human consumption. That’s why I cosponsored the bipartisan Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act to ban the transport and export of horses for slaughter. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Thank you, Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, for your work to help high school students in our communities succeed! This year, the tribe helped launch a student-run newspaper for our communities' teens interested in journalism. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth — PolitiTweet.org

As a father, taking my daughters to see Frozen 2 ❄️❄️ ☃️ was pure joy! Playing out scenes from the movie afterwards with my girls is even better! I’m sure they will memorize the new set of songs 🎶 in no time. “Let it go, let it go..” — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

I supported this bipartisan bill to improve the lives of women veterans, their health care, and their time in the service. Thrilled we passed it this week overwhelmingly in the House, and I urge the Senate to bring it for a vote immediately. https://t.co/ioGwZorKI4 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we celebrate the Torres Martinez Band of Desert Cahuilla Indians whose elders are taking a lead role in preserving the language, customs, and traditions of the Cahuilla people. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

People in my district need #LowerDrugCosts now. I've heard too many stories from constituents who ration their medication or don't take it all because of the outrageous cost. The Senate must pass H.R. 3 the Lower Drug Costs Now Act. #ForThePeople https://t.co/oGqxuscVuP — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians has uplifted & supported Native students in our communities by helping found the California Indian Nations College in Palm Desert. Since opening their doors in 2018, the number of enrolled students has nearly doubled! — PolitiTweet.org

As a physician & parent, I am standing up for our children's health by fighting to curb the youth vaping epidemic. By cracking down on retailers selling to minors & researching effects of e-cigarettes, we can stop a new generation from becoming addicted to nicotine. https://t.co/k96skv8TFG — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

On Tuesday, our community was shaken by a 3.5 magnitude earthquake. This is an important reminder to stay prepared and vigilant. Learn more below about how to assemble an emergency preparedness kit and keep your family safe below ⬇️ https://t.co/7HsO83tbf3 — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

The dangers of vaping can be devastating, especially when companies gear their flavors & devices to teens and make them easily available to our youth. That's why I introduced legislation that would crack down on retailers who sell to minors. https://t.co/sKx6U2dTi7 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor Donna Largo a tribal elder from the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians. Known to many as the "Last Cahuilla Basketweaver," Largo shared and celebrated the art of basket weaving and has preserved this tradition for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Very excited for the passage of my bill, the Increasing American Jobs and Exports Act, as an amendment to the U.S. Export Finance Agency Act to help local small businesses export American made goods, grow our economy, and create more jobs. https://t.co/ptm8EfHXtR — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Repeated reports that residents at Oasis Mobile Home Park don't have access to clean drinking water are extremely concerning. Park management must fully comply with @EPA orders to provide residents with unhindered access to clean drinking water. https://t.co/NcTEYEx8AS — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

I cosponsored the 100% Clean Economy Act of 2019, which would allow us to transition to 100% clean energy by 2050. This legislation would: ✅ Protect our planet ✅ Create good-paying jobs ✅ Protect our public health https://t.co/e9XWppCPIv — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

A constituent contacted my office earlier this month and told me that as a diabetic he pays over $5,000 out of pocket for insulin & other diabetic drugs. He told me he is rooting for H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, to become law. I am too. #LowerDrugCosts #ForThePeople — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Today, we honor Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians Chairperson Mary Ann Martin. Chairperson Martin was an economic force in our communities, and her legacy lives on in the businesses she helped grow, the workers she supported, and the countless lives she touched. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

I am committed to addressing the unique health challenges facing rural America. That's why I introduced the Training the Next Generation of Primary Care Doctors Act, which would add physicians to rural areas & lead to healthier lives for rural Americans. #NationalRuralHealthDay https://t.co/0GSSwEwjcS — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Whether on land or in our oceans, I'm fighting to protect our wildlife. This week, I voted for the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act. This legislation would prohibit the shark fin trade and end this destructive practice. #FinBanNow https://t.co/NMTM7xPyNY — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I called on @senatemajldr to hold a vote on two commonsense bills to expand background checks for gun purchases. As a physician and member of the @HouseGVP, I will continue to advocate for policies that reduce gun violence through a public health approach. https://t.co/5dwpvPEudG — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD

Having clean water to drink and clean air to breathe is not a privilege for a select few — it is a right for everyone. That's why I introduced the Environmental Justice Act of 2019, which would protect our vulnerable communities and empower them to hold bad actors accountable. https://t.co/zVCNKbihIS — PolitiTweet.org
