Congress needs to hear from you while home on recess!



Now that Christmas and New Years have passed, Members
of Congress are back in their home districts -- their
winter recess is still in full swing.

Since Members don't go back to Washington until
mid-January, NOW is the perfect time to get in
contact and express your feelings about abortion
coverage and government funding of abortion in the
pending health care reform legislation.

How? Through phone calls, e-mails and, even more
importantly, district office visits!

We've received many e-mails from people who've tried
to call and e-mail their elected officials -- only to
find full inboxes and voicemails not accepting
messages with the viewpoints of constituents.

Some Members of Congress may hold town hall meetings
while home during this holiday break, but if not, now
is the time to GO SEE THEM at their district offices
while they're home on recess.

Our Representatives and Senators have a lot to answer
for while home over these next weeks ...

The House of Representatives passed a health care
bill that contained the "Stupak Amendment," which
blocked government funding of abortion. But the
Senate version funds abortion on demand.

The House and Senate will now have to reconcile the
differences and come up with a compromise bill -- and
they need to hear from you, their constituents!

They need to know that you DO NOT support any health
care reform legislation that funds abortion.

Make your voice heard TODAY!

Stop the Abortion Mandate has created a new "Holiday
Break Action Toolkit: that you can take with you to
district offices.

2.) Go to your Representative's and Senators' local
   district offices -- take friends and family and
   ask questions of your representatives like "will
   you oppose any health care bill that does not
   explicitly block government funding of abortion?"

3.) Remember to keep it simple: ask them to "Stop the
   Abortion Mandate -- and don't vote for any health
   care legislation that allows government funding
   of abortion."

These next few weeks are crucial to making sure YOUR
voice gets heard!
