Call Congress NOW!
[UPDATE] RE: Stupak Amendment – The Stupak Amendment will supposedly contain legislation preventing funding of abortion to make it more palatable to pro-life Dems. As such, we should be putting pressure on our Republican reps to vote AGAINST this amendment. It’s a dangerous move but will make it harder for the overall bill to pass. Act accordingly! [UPDATE] Michelle Malkin:
Rep. Stupak: Health care has the votes whether anti-abortion amendment passes or fails. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) told reporters that regardless of the outcome of the vote on his amendment, which would severely restrict coverage of reproductive health issues, the House health care bill is headed for passage. He is whipping support for the amendment and estimates he has 225 votes. If he’s right, the amendment will pass, and he predicted enough pro-life Democrats will vote yes on the final bill to put it over the top. But if it fails, he said, enough pro-lifers will have been satisfied to have had their vote on the floor that they’ll turn around and support the final bill anyway.
[UPDATE] More info on the undecideds: Politico
The President just met with Pelosi and other Dem House leaders. They are trying to twist arms to get the last votes. We need to pressure them to stop. Personally, I just got through to Rothman’s office and told them to make sure he votes NO or suffer the consequences next year.
