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."
