**ACTION ALERT From Colorado Citizens for Life,
state affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee **
Dear Friend for Life,
As expected, President Obama and his ideological allies have announced their plan to ram through the House of Representatives the incredibly anti-life Senate bill they passed in the wee hours of Christmas Eve.
It doesn’t matter to these people that Americans overwhelmingly oppose Obamacare because they do NOT want federal funding of elective abortion.
It doesn’t matter to them that Americans do NOT want the radical Medicare cuts and diminished medical services that will inevitably lead to rationing.
It doesn’t matter to them that Americans do NOT want to violate the precious conscience rights of ethical doctors and nurses committed to “do no harm.”
Aiming for a March 20th vote (or March 21 — admin), Obama et al are twisting arms, making deals, and offering bribes…like the just-announced federal-judgeship for Scott Matheson, whose brother, Rep. Jim Matheson, was originally a ‘no’ vote.
United with pro-life groups across the country, we’re fighting to ensure crucial decisions about your health care and coverage remain in your hands, not turned over to bureaucrats.
But all of us, now, must speak up one more time… and with one message!
So even if you’ve contacted your Member of Congress about this in the past, we ask you – at this critical time – to make another call RIGHT NOW.
Strongly urge your Representative to OPPOSE the Senate health care bill.
Say you think it would be inexcusably irresponsible to vote for this awful bill based on feeble and unpersuasive promises about some other bill that might — or more likely, might not — be enacted at some point later on.
For Life,
Connie Pratt, President

Rep. Diana DeGette (202-225-4431)
Rep. Jared Polis (202-225-2161)
Rep. John Salazar (202-225-4761)
Rep. Betsy Markey (202-225-4676)
Rep. Doug Lamborn (202-225-4422)
Rep. Mike Coffman (202-225-7882)
Rep. Ed Perlmutter (202-225-2645)
P.S. If the Representative’s staff person insists that the bill does not allow federal funding of abortion (a now-familiar ploy), politely point out that you have access to detailed information which proves it does. Then, share the information from our recent PPCFL Blog Post!
NOTE: Among other things, the bill contains — buried deep within its 2400 pages — a provision for $7 BILLION (Mr. Obama wants $11 BILLION) for community health centers or CHCs. Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion chain, already gets $350 million of our taxes. Yet it meets the CHC criteria!
