StopTheAbortionMandate.com To Do list
Last night over 36k people accessed (or tried to access) the historic StopTheAbortionMandate.com webcast.
The audiotape will be available soon.
We have been given a To Do list, which we must start completing TODAY, if you didn’t start last night….
Here’s why: Even though Senate leader Harry Reid said yesterday his chamber won’t hold a vote on socialized healthcare before the August recess (House: Aug. 3 – Sept. 4; Senate: Aug. 1 – Sept. 5), House leader Nancy Pelosi is threatening to delay the start of her group’s recess over this. Meanwhile Obama’s people said yesterday they’re still pushing for a vote before the recess. The White House has called a meeting with leaders today to discuss the schedule. There’s good reason for Obama wanting to get ‘er done before recess. He knows during that month at home members will get an ear full from constituents and come back shakier than ever on his anti-life boondoggle.
So, let’s get going. StopTheAbortionMandate.com has prepared a 1-page action guide. Forward this to your list. From the guide:

I just called my senators. For those of you in Illinois, you should know that Durbin’s secretary assured me that abortion funding is not included in the healthcare bill. So be prepared to defend your comments to her when you call! She promised she’ll pass the message along, despite her quizzical tone.
I just called Durbin and got a guy who didn’t question me on my point. I was ready to say, “Well then Sen. Durbin should have no trouble supporting amendments to explicitly exclude abortion mandates in the healthcare bill.” Didn’t have to go there.
I just got a reply back stating Sen Burris is out using the ‘StopAbortionMandate’ email link. I got this msg:
“Due to security concerns, we are unable to monitor this account for any incoming messages. The constituents of Illinois are of the utmost importance to me, and I encourage you to use my web form at http://burris.senate.gov/contact/contact.cfm to send my office your concerns. I look forward to our correspondence.”
*I copied the orig email and pasted it there…and I think that got thru…
There should be no privision for government payment for abortion in new healthcare plans. Also, Senate and House members should have the same insurance coverages as the rest of us. If thfe plan that they are proposing is so great for us it should be adeequate for ALL citizens including them.
Has everyone signed the petition to Stop the Abortion Mandate at ACLJ dot org ? You’ll see on the right-hand side: “Take Action!” and below: Sign a Petition. Over 65,000 have signed, but let’s keep those signatures coming.
