Please call the White House...

Today the Senate is again discussing health care and on Dec. 8th voted to table an amendment that would do away with Federal Funding of abortion. Thankfully my ND Senators voted no on that but we need people in all states to call their Senators today to ask them to vote NO on CLOTURE. Cloture would put the Health Care Bill up for an immediate vote and then they don't need a 2/3 majority they would only need 51 percent. It is a way they can get something passed that they don't have enough for a vote. They have been trying to get this passed since April and the new bill was written by Ted Kennedy's office and pharmaceutical companies. These companies stand to make BILLIONS of dollars if this health care plan is voted in the way it is. Nevermind that there are a hundred other problems with this bill. Over 1 million abortions are performed per year and adding federal funding would increase that figure. This healthcare plan will cost our country several trillion dollars. I though we were in a financial crises!!! Please urge your friends to call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. I've emailed my Senators this morning and plan to call also urging them to vote no on cloture. It is a sneaky tactic. You can go on www.senate.gov to find your Senators and see how they have been voting.
