in their unabashed support of life. They were silent when Hitler was exterminating the Jews, they will not be silent for this holocost. And they seem to get press coverage, while Protestent pro-life organizations do not. Will it matter to Stupak and his 12? We will see.

with Nancy’s Papal Office.

And it’s irrelevant. There are no pro-life Democrats or practicing Catholics in the House. And please note, the word “excommunication” is not in the note. This carries about the same weight with “Catholic” Democrats as a note from my Dead White Cat.

Oh, and will the Bishops come out against the Reps who vote with the our Infanticide-in-Chief? I think not.

The move is also perilously close to something Nixon once attempted, which he called “impounding” funds that Congress had appropriated. He announced he would not spend them, thus saving taxpayer dollars.

Nixon lost in the Supreme Court. Presidents can’t “impound” funds that Congress appropriates.

It’s no wonder USCCB gets ignored with things like this. How serious can they be when John Kerry runs an entire presidential campaign, attends his Sunday masses, and USCCB hands out communion to him as if it were no big deal. How serious can they be when Barack Obama gets the privilege of sharing the table of honor with John McCain at the Al Smith Dinner during the 2008 campaign. How serious can they be when Catholic politicians OPENLY question Catholic doctrine in front of news cameras.

If they drew a line in the sand once and for all, MAYBE a last minute memo like this might have some teeth. Barack and Nancy has peeled off most of the Stupak group, and will eventually get Bart Stupak himself. Why? Because groups like USCCB let their church members vote their politics, not their conscience; and they let them do it with impunity.

the lonely and innocent unborn turn their eyes to you.

the bishops have not backed down one iota and have been fully engaged throughout. You have been silent for a week!!! The most important week since the Roe v. Wade decision and you are silent!!! Be heard, loudly

The Senate bill, however, has provisions that state Congress *cannot* repeal certain sections of it.

All within a 24-hour period.

It’s well past time to show people that promoting the funding of abortion is immoral. It must be doubly so to make it compulsory for others to have to.

chose sides years and years ago by consistently supporting the Democrat party. If this passes, it’s on their heads.

should be to discipline the Nuns……who in spite of taking a vow of obedience, chose to contradict their superiors, and support a measure that would allow taxpayer funding of abortions.

Any nun who signed the letter of support should be disallowed from receiving the Sacraments, during which time they would be offered pastoral counseling. And if they don’t then shape up and disavow their repudiation of church teaching, they should be excommunicated, period.

The Following is the statemen:

Nancy Pelosi and her allies are currently negotiating with key pro-life Democrats to try and secure their vote for their pro-abortion health care plan.

What’s on the negotiating table?

A proposed executive order from President Obama that would allegedly bar abortion funding in the health care bill.

An executive order is an ineffective maneuver and completely unacceptable.

Here’s why:

1. An executive order can be rescinded any time. President Obama could reverse it next week, next month, or next year. Should another pro-abortion president be elected in the future, it could be rescinded on inauguration day.

2. An executive order will not prevent insurance companies that provide abortion from participating in the exchanges.

3. Abortion funding in the health care legislation can be only be removed using the legislative process. An executive order not only doesn’t fix the problem, it isn’t needed to fix the problem, and could not stand a legal challenge. If Democrats are serious about protecting taxpayers from funding abortion in the health care bill, they must use the legislative process to fix the problem.

ACTION:

Call the following members of Congress immediately and tell them that an executive order by the president on abortion is unacceptable and urge them to vote NO on the pro-abortion health care bill.

For Immediate Release March 21, 2010

STATEMENT FROM COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR DAN PFEIFFER

Today, the President announced that he will be issuing an executive order after the passage of the health insurance reform law that will reaffirm its consistency with longstanding restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortion.

While the legislation as written maintains current law, the executive order provides additional safeguards to ensure that the status quo is upheld and enforced, and that the health care legislation’s restrictions against the public funding of abortions cannot be circumvented.

The President has said from the start that this health insurance reform should not be the forum to upset longstanding precedent. The health care legislation and this executive order are consistent with this principle.

The President is grateful for the tireless efforts of leaders on both sides of this issue to craft a consensus approach that allows the bill to move forward.

Representative Schauer,

As I have tried calling all of your offices since Tuesday, this will be my last attempt to reach you regarding the vote on health care today.

Change your position now or tell your staff to commence sending out resumes now for new jobs come January. For both you and your staff will not have my vote regardless of the outcome should you go along with Speaker Pelosi on today’s health care vote.

Either you have not done your homework Sir, or you are lying to your constituents when you state:
“Passing health care reform will cut costs for Michigan families and businesses, close the prescription drug donut hole for seniors, cut the deficit by $130 billion, ban health insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions or the loss of a job, and allow the American people to sign up for the same kind of quality, affordable, private health care plans that are available to members of Congress. I am confident that a modified version of the Senate bill which removes special deals for states like Louisiana and Nebraska will meet these objectives.”

1. This will not cut the deficit, it will only add to it, despite the ma thematic trickery employed by your caucus. 2. American people are NOT getting the same type of access to private health care as members of Congress. If they were, you would have supported previous measures to fall under the same plan you are voting on.
3. The Senate version will NOT be modified so the special interests will go through.

To boot, estimates have it that tax payer funded abortions will increase nearly 40% over the roughly 300,000 funded right now every year. That will be over 100,000 more aborted children you Sir are voting for me Sir, to help fund.

I take it you are going to claim as Pontius Pilate did, and wash your hands of this blood saying it is not of your doing? If you are a Christian, I sincerely hope come Good Friday, you can hear your own voice say “Crucify him, Crucify him!” For with this vote, for those unborn children, you are.

I sincerely pray that your future job next year manages to avoid the corruption your last one did, which garnered you the title of the most corrupt Michigan politician in history.

Good day,
Mr. Smith

My congressman’s asinine statement supporting his vote today (talking about “talking points” from Pelosi/Hoyer… sheesh!):

“Make no mistake, our health care system is broken. If we do nothing, health insurance companies will continue to raise premiums on Michigan families and businesses by double digits each year for the foreseeable future. This is simply unacceptable, and unsustainable.

“Passing health care reform will cut costs for Michigan families and businesses, close the prescription drug donut hole for seniors, cut the deficit by $130 billion, ban health insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions or the loss of a job, and allow the American people to sign up for the same kind of quality, affordable, private health care plans that are available to members of Congress. I am confident that a modified version of the Senate bill which removes special deals for states like Louisiana and Nebraska will meet these objectives.”

“The health insurance industry has made it perfectly clear that their number one priority is to defend their multi-billion dollar profits at the expense of working Michigan families. In the past few weeks, four different special interest groups have spent nearly $300,000 on attack ads in my district to scare voters and kill health care reform. The bottom line is that I don’t work for the powerful health insurance industry – I work for the people of Michigan, and passing health care reform will ultimately help get our economy back on track.”
