Hi xxxxx,
During the 2011 General Assembly session, Planned Parenthood and reproductive rights were attacked repeatedly. You took action via our action alerts, made the phone calls, talked to your legislators, and wrote letters to the editor. In short, you gave us your all to help defeat these extreme attacks.
This November, all 140 members of the General Assembly are up for re-election. While the House of Delegates has an anti-choice majority, our saving grace in protecting your rights has been the Virginia Senate-namely the Senate Education and Health Committee. All anti-choice legislation has, for years, gone to this key committee to die. Yet, the results of this November’s election could significantly change the make-up of this committee and the number of detrimental bills that make it through the General Assembly, bills like TRAP.
We have a chance to fight back against the extreme agenda that women face in accessing reproductive health care in the Commonwealth. We have a chance to say NO, this is not the type of government we want or need. But to do so, we need your help.
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! Between now and November 8, we will show the power of Planned Parenthood in helping to re-elect state Senator Edd Houck. Senator Houck has a 28-year voting record that demonstrates his commitment to reproductive health and rights. Due to his dedication, he is a top Republican target and faces a tough re-election. We need YOUR HELP to show the POWER OF PINK and to help re-elect Sen. Houck!
Below, you can click the RSVP link to sign up for all of our upcoming phonebanks to help re-elect Sen. Houck. All phonebanks will be at 2207 Peters Creek in Roanoke. Sign up for one or two a week, bring a friend, and help us protect women’s health. A few hours of your time will make a huge impact!

Edd is dead. I don’t see Spotsy and the surrounding rural areas keeping him. All we need is turn out.
Gee, PP should add Mamye BaCote from Hampton who is a big pro-abortion contributor (but in a very safe seat...)...
who is a parishioner at St. Vincent De Paul (Catholic) church in Newport News, VA.
Liberal Democrat Houck has an opponent. He is Bryce Reeves at http://brycereeves.com/ if you wish to donate.
