She asked whomever can make it to drive to Wash., DC and meet with her on the west steps of the Capitol to protest on Thursday, 11/5, at 12 Noon. (Remember OUR house call visit to the local offices of our rep and senators offices downtown at 11:00AM on that same date!)
This is a toll-free line set up by a pro-Obama organization, IGNORE the recorded message but when you reach the switchboard, ask for your Member of Congress.
Your message is simple:
VOTE AGAINST "THE RULE" TODAY.
VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE STUPAK AMENDMENT.
The House MUST allow for floor debate and amendment on HR 3962 (health reform). The Stupak Amendment is essential because abortion is not health care. Nobody is healthier dead. That's the bottom line.
The Stupak Amendment must pass. There must be an opportunity for you in the House to debate and amend!
Vote against "the Rule." Vote IN FAVOR OF debate and amendment. Vote IN FAVOR OF the Stupak Amendment.
(And when you get the opportunity, vote against the whole damned Health Care Reform Bill.)
Thank you.
See mine at #22. Nifty thrifty TOLL-FREE NUMBER to reach Congressional Switchboard. Paid for by Obama-ites!
At the same time, voting NO on the ghastly Madame Pelosi no-debate "RULE" will be a trmendous show of strength and keep the Kill-the-Bill momentum rolling.
No answer at the number given... even after the recorded message.
Called my rep at the local office. He is against this in its entirety and anything that will rush it through without amendments.
He’s a rarity in WNY - Republican... Still doesn’t excuse not attending town halls in August.
Hence, personally I'd rather not try to remove this language as part of an amendment as it makes the whole enchilada much harder to swallow. The more cr@p that is in this bill the less chance it has of passing.
I frankly think this is Pelosi's strategy.... Put the bad stuff in that they know will never pass, then remove it in the amendment process and bingo, you get the votes to pass Government Run Healthcare and give cover to the Blue Dogs. Then, after the monster is in place, they put the bad stuff back later.
Because Abortion is the most sacred thing in their inverted Universe of the Damned.
In my (non-infallible) judgment, a big NO vote on "The Rule" will be a massive show of resistance to the ghastly Madame Pelosi. That will keep the resistance ball rolling. It will electrify and energize the Good Guys by demonstrating that The Obamapower is not invincible. And our no-abortion-funding push MUST be linked with a NO vote on the overall Bill, which deserves to be turned into high-cellulose landfill for about 1,000 good reasons.

I just called Hoyer’s office (for what it’s worth) (Ashamedly, he’s my representative). A woman with a Brit accent (what’s that about??) said she’d pass it on.
No busy signals, no phone messages, no waits.
Thanks for that great link!
Reading all this—and the “strategies” employed by the left-—I come back to the old adage that “politics is war by another name”.
And this is most certainly a war.
I will act on this as best I can today.
Pope John Paul II and Bl. Mother Teresa, pray for us.
God bless, Mrs. Don-o.
Please stop the mass pings. Its front page news. I know it’s important, and we are all doing all we can.
Defeat and kill the entire MengeleCare, the brainchild of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Fuhrer.

Exactly!!! Let them keep abortion in the bill. Let's abort the bill and everything in it.
I have poor hearing, too. I communicate much better by e-mail and computer/website than by phone.
If you go to your congressman’s website (just google his/her name) you can click on the “contact” link and send a statement via the congressional website message form. If you have any trouble with this, send me your Representative’s name and I will find the message form.

Please go to the above website and sign the petition so that Americans will not be mandated to pay our hard earned money to pay for abortions. “In each committee, Congress has rejected pro-life efforts to keep abortion out of the bills. This means that, if enacted, countless Americans would be forced to buy coverage for abortion even if they dont want it, and would ensure that government funding for elective abortions is mandated.” This information is from Jay Sekulow’s website the ACLJ.
Thanks!
