Take Action Now to Stop the Pro-Abortion Health Care Bill!

For the last 10 months, www.LifeNews.com has written hundreds of news stories and carried dozens of editorials from top pro-life leaders and activists warning about the health care bill that will pay for perhaps hundreds of thousands of abortions.
That battle is coming to a head this week as the House considers passing the pro-abortion Senate health care bill and possibly using a procedural trick to do so that would pass the bill without taking a vote on it.
To get to the point quickly, your action is needed NOW to stop that pro-life organizations have told LifeNews.com is the biggest expansion of abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion since Roe v. Wade in 1973.If you haven't called or emailed to oppose the pro-abortion health care bill and the procedural tactics to stop it (and even if you have!) please keep reading because there is so much you can do to help.
Contact Your Member of Congress and Urge a NO Vote
1. The first thing every pro-life advocate should do is contact your member of Congress and urge a no vote. Don't just urge a no vote on the Senate bill (H.R. 3590) but on any companion/reconciliation bill to make changes to it (which will not include stopping abortion funding or promotion) and on the so-called Slaughter Rule that would allow the how to "deem" the Senate bill passed if the rule for debate is adopted.
If you have already asked your House member to vote no on the bill, please go back and urge a no vote on any companion/reconciliation bill and the Slaughter Rule.
You can find contact information for any member of Congress at http://www.house.gov and using the pull down list at the top or the zip code search.
2. If you've called or emailed your House member, there is still more you can do. We suggest contacting your House member via different methods so your representatives and their staff see an overwhelming onslaught of opposition.
Please also contact your House member's local offices (usually listed on their web site) and urge a no vote to staff in those offices as well. These local offices frequently compile the number of calls for or against a bill and send them to the representatives and their key staff who advise them.
Next, contact your House member via Twitter and Facebook. Leave a message on their Facebook page and send a direct message to them on Twitter. Many representatives personally check these pages and their Twitter accounts and all are maintained by influential staffers. Just search for their name on each social networking web site or find a link from their House.gov web page.
3. Please ask every pro-life person you know -- friends, family, church members, etc. -- to contact their members of Congress and urge no votes. Forward this alert to them and ask them to take action now!4. We have a list of key House members to contact who are wavoring in their vote or undecided. Click here for more.
4.Contact Other House Members and Urge No Votes
Although most House members ignore emails and calls from people who live outside their legislative district, consider taking the time to call them anyway. LifeNews.com also suggests contacting key House members via Twitter and Facebook, where it is harder to ascertain the location of people writing to them.
It is also especially important to contact House members on the following committees whether they are your representative or not: the House Budget Committee and the House Rules Committee.
Why? These two committees are likely going to be voting on bills and rules for debate that will affect the final outcome of the health care vote. You can find links to those committee web sites at http://www.house.gov (use the committee scroll down list at the top) and those sites each list members of the committee.
Contact every Democratic member of those committees and urge no votes on any health care bills and rules.
