Reid is trying to push a health care bill that will fund abortions with taxpayer money. Read below. Take action. Time is short.
From Traditional Values Coalition:
ON SATURDAY, "in a rare weekend session, the U.S. Senate is being forced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to vote on his 2,000+ page health care bill that funds abortion.
Reid’s health care bill was crafted in secret with Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and others without input from most Senators.
Reid’s bill will fund abortion on demand with taxpayer money and includes numerous tax increases as well.
The “cloture” vote on Saturday needs 60 votes to pass. This vote will be on a motion to move ahead with a vote on the bill itself. Once the cloture vote is won, the Reid’s abortion-funding bill can pass with a simple majority.
In short, if your Senator votes for cloture on Saturday, she or he is voting to pass the bill itself and to fund abortion with your tax dollars.
Senators can use their cloture vote to claim that all they wanted to do was to let the vote come to the floor – when in fact, they know that by casting their vote for cloture, the abortion-funding bill is sure to pass with a simple majority.
IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED: Time is of the essence.
On Saturday, you will have to contact their Washington D.C. offices.

Keep up the good work Ginny.
I'm encouraging folks to ask their employers if they will continue to provide coverage if this bill passes. It's something everyone should reasonably be asking whether liberal or conservative.
Remember, Mr. Obama told us if we like our current coverage we can keep it. Not so for me if this bill passes. How about you? I'm asking for folks to let me know at my blog.
