Issues (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)
1.) Copenhagen Global Warming Conference
2.) What Will Senator Casey Do?
3.) Air Force Base Being Held Hostage!
Details
1.) The international global warming conference with 192 countries represented began meeting one week ago today. President Obama is scheduled to attend the last day of the conference on the 18th. Is he poised to cede America’s sovereignty? Click here to see what the ramifications of signing this treaty are? Remember even if the President signs a treaty, according to the Constitution the treaty must be ratified by 2/3 of the Senate before the US is obligated to follow its dictates. But, does anyone doubt that this Senate would ratify it? Click here to view how free speech is “encouraged” in Copenhagen.
2.) As you recall, on December 8th the attempt to take taxpayer funded abortion out of the Senate version of health care was tabled by a vote of 54-45 – effectively killing the amendment. Also remember that in an effort to ram this takeover of health care through before Christmas, the Reid health care bill was tacked onto the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009. Senator Bob Casey has been non-committal as to whether he would support the final bill if it still contains the abortion language.
3.) The White House is essentially holding a United States Air Force Base in Nebraska hostage to force Senator Ben Nelson to vote for the health care bill. He’s the Senator who introduced the now tabled amendment that would have removed taxpayer funded abortion from the Senate version of health care. He is still saying he will vote ‘no’ on final passage, so the Obama Administration is trying a new tactic. Read here for more details.
Action Steps
1.) Sign this petition. It will be sent to President Obama, Senators Specter and Casey and your Congressman. Click here. Encourage others to also sign the petition. Remember the Markey/Waxman bill passed in the House on June 26 by a vote of 219-212. The push in the Senate has slowed, but that’s because they’ve been pushing through hate crimes, $1.1 trillion spending bills and health care ‘reform.
2.) Please contact Senator Casey’s office and urge him to take a strong pro-life stand and vote ‘NO’ on HR 3590. Please e-mail AND call the district office nearest you. Click here for contact info. Feel free to contact Senator Specter’s office and ask him to vote “NO; on HR 3590. It may be a wasted call and e-mail, but he can’t say he didn’t hear from his constituents.
3.) If you are disturbed by the White House blatantly placing our national security at risk by threatening to shut down Offutt Air Force Base which houses the US Strategic Command, please let the President know. E-mail using the form here or call using the Comment Line at 202-456-1111. Encourage Senator Nelson by sending him a note by clicking here or call at (202) 224-6551.
