One Voice For Choice: Don't Let Stupak And Nelson Hold Health Care Reform Hostage

OVFC-LONG-for-web

Yesterday, Venice For Change and FDL Action PAC announced "One Voice For Choice", a unique phone bank effort that will call into the districts of Democratic lawmakers who voted for the Stupak amendment. We are targeting likely voters who are pro-choice and asking them to tell their member of Congress to vote for a final health care reform bill that's free of the Stupak ban.

The response has been tremendous. In only 24 hours, over half a dozen phone banks have popped up in my home state of California, and one in the heart of liberal Texas - Austin!

Will you volunteer to call them and explain that Stupak is much, much worse than any Federal law currently on the books?

Powwow points to two important posts by Pricilla Smith at Balkanization which outline just how bad Stupak is, and what is at stake (Part I and Part II).

And guess what, Ben Nelson is introducing Stupak in the Senate. And he's threatening to filibuster the health care bill if he doesn't get his way. Folks, this is crunch time. If we don't hold the line in the House, Stupak could very easily become the law of the land.

Join one of the phone bank efforts already going, or if there’s not one in your district, start one of your own!
