URGENT CONGRESSIONAL
ALERT
Phone your U.S. House member now -- urge a NO vote on
Speaker Pelosi's plan to ram the pro-abortion health
care bill through the House under a "closed rule"
Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) is planning to ram
the massive health care bill (H.R. 3200) through the
U.S. House of Representatives on short notice, without
allowing consideration of a critical prolife amendment.
National Right to Life and Right to Life of Michigan are
urging every prolife citizen to immediately TELEPHONE
the office of his or her representative in the U.S.
House of Representatives with a clear and firm message
urging a NO vote
on the no-amendment procedure (which is called "the
rule") on H.R. 3200.
Pelosi's plan is to demand that the House pass the bill
under a "closed rule," which is a procedure that would
not allow any amendments to H.R. 3200 to be considered.
In particular, Pelosi is determined to prevent a vote on
a prolife amendment proposed by Congressman Bart Stupak
(D-MI) and Congressman Joe Pitts (R-PA), which would
prevent subsidies for abortion under two big new federal
programs created by the bill.
Even if you have already called and written your federal
representatives about the health care bills, it is
critical that you call again now. Pelosi's party
currently controls the House by a margin of 256-177, but
if as few as 40 Democrats are persuaded to vote with
Congressman Stupak in opposition to the "closed rule,"
it would be impossible for Pelosi to ram the
abortion-funding H.R. 3200 through the House. Time is
short.
TAKE ACTION NOW!
Call your U.S. House Representative and House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi with this message:
"I am strongly opposed
to any attempt to pass the health care bill, H.R. 3200,
under a 'closed rule,' and I urge you to vote 'No' on
the anticipated closed rule. I oppose the bill because
it would authorize a federal government insurance
program, called the public plan, to fund abortion on
demand, and because it also contains other pro-abortion
provisions. I support the Stupak Amendment (pronounced
STEW-pak), which would remove the abortion-funding
provisions from the bill."
