Dear Friends, This week, the battle to strip Planned Parenthood of its $363.2 MILLION in annual taxpayer funding reaches a critical step in the U.S. House of Representatives. For the third time, House members will be crafting and voting on a Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government through the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year. We must keep pressure on to make sure that the Pence Amendment -- which defunds Planned Parenthood -- is included in this CR and that all pro-life members hold strong, and only vote for a CR that defunds Planned Parenthood. Please take a few minutes right now and let your Representative know the importance of defunding Planned Parenthood -- even if you've called or e-mailed before. Go here to contact your Representative Now: http://exposeplannedparenthood.net/contact-congress/ Also, if possible,invite your local pastor or priest to come with you this Wednesday to the local district office of your Representative to ask them to stand for LIFE, stopping the flow of taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood -- which aborted 332,278 innocent children in the last reported year. Just a simple visit to your House of Representative's office will mean a lot, sending a strong signal back to Washington, D.C. that millions of pro-life voters are paying attention! (Go to http://www.govtrack.us/congress/findyourreps.xpd to find the address for your Representative's district office.) This Thursday, abortion advocates are planning to gather in Washington, D.C. to angrily demand that Planned Parenthood funding be protected at all costs. They will be specifically targeting new members of Congress and those who have weak pro-life records. This is a critical moment when you need to make your voice heard loud and clear: "NOT A SINGLE DOLLAR OF OUR TAXES FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD!" Call now (http://exposeplannedparenthood.net/contact-congress/ ) - this is the moment we've all been working for! Sincerely yours in Christ, Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro-Carámbula Interim President, Human Life International P.S. - After you have called your Representative, call House Speaker Boehner and ask him to make sure Congress defunds Planned Parenthood in the next Continuing Resolution Vote!
