Obama Begs Waxman to Yank Birth Control from Stimulus

Washington Independent ^ | 1/27/09 9:33 AM | By Lindsay Beyerstein

[Antoninus]

They are not "family planning" provisions. It is a money give-away to big abortion/Planned Barrenhood.

Don't let the press define this as anything other than that, GOP.

[steve-b]

What is the GOP giving up in exchange behind closed doors? Probably the whole store, judging from how they've been behaving lately.

It would be better to get the funding kept in the "stimulus package" in order to scuttle whatever corrupt bargain they've made.

[manc]

how about stopping billions being funneled to ACORN.
200 million for the update of the national mall
etc
etc
etc

we need to have a system on here where we get alert e-mails on a day targeting certain senators and when we receive those e-mails we bombard them.

40 calls to the local senator isn’t going to do much but if 400 off here did it and then this was timed with all conservative talk show hosts then those senators would have to take notice.
We don’t even have to target just republicans we can target red dog Dems and Dems coming up to re-election.

Jim , Moderators is this possible to set up and would other be willing to sign up up for these e-mails alerts?

[GeronL]

abortions will save the economy... why isn’t the media pillorying Nancy Pelosi for that??? Oh, she is a D. right.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Some people talk about the need for a 3rd party. Seems excessive to me. I’d settle for a 2nd party.

[brytlea]

That Waxman, he’s always got something up his nose....

[Skid Marx]

Since they’ve been making such a big deal out of this in the press for the last few days, I have to believe that this is a phony PR stunt by the democrats to demonstrate BO’s ‘bi-partisanship’. Peanuts inflated to look like something important.

[bboop]

This money for birth control does NOT include the Mexico City/ international money to go for international abortions, is that correct?

That’s an additional amount for OTHERS to procreate fecklessly.

[Dixie Yooper]

Obama Begs

How Presidential! For a third world country dictator.

[ponygirl]

Did they really put “yank” and “birth control” in the same headline?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

We don’t need ‘birth control’ in the stimulus. All they need to do is put a picture of Waxman in every bedroom across America.

[JustSurrounded]

I'd love to help if something can be organized. (I've suddenly become a letter-writer ... I've faxed my (D) rep, I've emailed my two (D) senators, and emailed all (R) senators about this. I joke with my kids that the next thing you know I'll be down picketing in DC.)

[MrB]

Understand what the real target of all leftist policy is:

dissolution of the nuclear family.

[Sgt_Schultze]

If Democrats concede to Republicans on the issue, which appears likely according to the AP, many Democratic powerhouses, like Planned Parenthood — which endorsed Obama — will feel betrayed.

TS. That's the reward for pitting people against each other as groups. The real politics of division is the democrat staple of group rights.

[manc]

same here I call my sen Martinez and I call and send e0mail off to Nelson in south FL . I say to him I am an independent but you promised that the Dem party and obama would work across party lines , well I hope you show that on this next vote coming up as my family and I will be watching to see if your promise will be kept. When something comes up on here it's usually call your two senators but if they only get say 30 calls and e-mails to their office then it's not really doing much and all we do is complain on here after the vote goes against us. If 400 off here were alerted to target such senators and that was in tandem with the conservative talk show listeners then we could easily send over a few thousand to a certain senator over a couple of days. How many does Rush , Laura Hannity etc have listening the with this site too working together we would be noticed. We see the Dems always rushing to move on , kos and huffing ton and yet not many republicans come rushing to us if we asked them to. If we did do the targeting calls and got organised then we'd be listened to much more. Is there any way Jim could be notified about this do you know?

[ridesthemiles]

Someone has to stand up and declare that not one penny will go to ACORN.

They are not “community organizers”. They are community rabble rousers, and they intentionally are registering illegals to vote.

Your precious right to vote as a legal citizen is being eroded and usurped by ACORN.

They are truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing......

NObama and his ilk have placed $4.l9 billion into this “stimulus” plan for ACORN.

What a sick joke.

[blueyon]

A President begging, my my my, how unpresidential.

[manc]

ref ACORN
pay time for their fraudulent votes.

Remember the little spokeswomen speaking and saying how they will get obama elected and he will look after us.

This is all going to clockwork for him and his radical friends and there is no opposition because we are not organised

[MrB]

Peggy the Moocher.

I’m taking her lead.

I want to know where to send my gas receipts for reimbursement.

I’ve already cancelled all future mortgage payments. I figure my lender knows to send the bill to 0bama.
