Right now focus is on Senate and getting everyone to sign on to the letter saying they will not support Stupak language in the final bill.
It’s all hands on deck.
I also suggest Catholics contact the Council of Catholic Bishops and tell them you will stop tithing until the Stupak language gets stripped from the bills and then tell fellow catholics and protestants who support women’s choice to stop tithing.
Now *that’s* a winner. Great suggestion.
Well, that appears just something that Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, Mandela and Martin Luther King would do to peacefully change America for the better.
Now you see my heroes names. Spread the word about both efforts please.
Honestly I do not see much difference between withholding of tithes to an organization that supports conservatives in congress and the withholding of purchases from companies that do worse in the form of funding such conservatives in congress.
I passionately believe we need to selectively boycott the contributors that give money to conservatives and demand they get us the legislation they help to block and to block legislation that they want to enact.
I did not originate this notion but I adapted the peaceful resistance of Gandhi, Chavez, Mandela, and King to the legislative process.
I owe them a debt.
I think it’s safe to say that everyone around here appreciates all you do.
It doesn’t matter if people here appreciate me. It matters if people here and the people they tell about these phone calls appreciate
the retired and disabled people who have to suffer with having to pay 2 sets of monthly premiums and 2 sets of yearly deductibles to get one prescription drug benefit that enriches drug and insurance companies and have to endure a huge coverage gap where they still pay monthly premiums and get nothing back
and appreciate the people who have to go to the emergency room because of the conservatives “let them eat cake” attitude towards the less fortunate in this country who don’t have health insurance
and appreciate those people who have insurance but still have to pay outrageous copays and deductibles such that they have to go bankrupt or sell their home, like my friend did in 2007 when he got cancer and eventually died in 2008.
and appreciate those poor women who will have to arrange to abort a child not by going to a doctor but somehow she will have to do something on her own and risk bleeding to death.
Do it for THEM not me. Call those companies and sign those petitions for THEM, not me.
Might I suggest that the anti-abortion or anti-choice people have an intellectually dishonest argument which is pure sophistry when it comes to the public funding of abortion? They claim that it is morally reprehensible for them to be forced to give their tax dollars to the government to facilitate someone’s abortion. Hence the Hyde Amendment. Would their argument hold if we (the group) found it morally reprehensible to give our tax dollars to the military to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander. Else hypocrisy rules in this here republic. Peace
