Saturday, Mar 20, 2010: Monthly Protest at Planned Parenthood Aurora—9:00 a.m.

With the national health care battle and the fight here in Illinois over HB6205, it seems like pro-life activism has been all about phone calls and e-mails lately. Time for some REAL action!

Join the protest at Planned Parenthood, 3051 E. New York Street (map). Picket signs will be provided. These monthly protests punctuate the ongoing Life Support effort, offering prayer and assistance for Planned Parenthood clients every hour the facility is open ...

We're in the final stretch of our fight against the Illinois FOCA bill for this legislative season, which wraps up in the House on March 26 ... pray and fast! --Eric Scheidler

Eric Scheidler always puts on a peaceful but powerful (and very well organized!) protest for Life, in clear view of Planned Parenthood, alongside a high-traffic 4-lane road that runs through town.

Weather in Aurora shows rain/snow for tomorrow, but not too cold; if you can make it, dress accordingly (and bring a friend or two).

Fight the Obamacare beast, and join FReepers in prayer, too

Call the damn thing what it is GENOCIDE of the Unborn, abortion is a PC benign term.

Some advice from some one who did the income tax battle in TN. Put signs on polls you can rest on ground. Take magic markers, simple messages, GRANNY YOUR NEXT Bull horn, ALERT your local talk radio host so he/she can promo it, call Media TONIGHT. Stay on Side Walk, don’t park in small businesses parking slots, they get a tad upset.

Call the damn thing what it is GENOCIDE of the Unborn, abortion is a PC benign term.

It’s not just Granny and Gramps that is getting whacked so illegals can have free health care.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:
http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

Another e-mail received from Eric Scheidler today:

I've just learned from my sources on Capitol Hill that a vote on the pro-abortion healthcare bill is expected SUNDAY. That means we have to act NOW to stop this bill. I don't have to rehash for you how horrible the pro-abortion health care plan is. You already know it would be the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade. So I'm going to cut to the chase and ask you to do THREE things:

1. CALL YOUR U.S. REP TODAY: Say, "Vote NO on any healthcare bill that does not explicitly prohibit abortion coverage and government funding of abortion!"

2. E-MAIL YOUR REP TODAY: Write, "Vote NO on any healthcare bill that does not explicitly prohibit abortion coverage and government funding of abortion!"

3. ALERT FAMILY & FRIENDS: E-mail, Facebook, Tweet and text everyone you know with this urgent call to action.

Get your Congressman's contact info here:

Finally, I'd like to add a 4th action item: please PRAY and FAST over the next two and a half critical days.

My sources say that right now, President Obama and Nancy Pelosi are 4-6 votes short. If every pro-life American speaks out against the Abortion Mandate, we CAN stop it.

Yours for Life -- Eric

P.S. Please: Even if you've already made lots of phone calls and sent lots of e-mails, do it again today. Everything is coming to a head this Sunday. If we loose this fight, MILLIONS of unborn babies will die. It's that perilous.
