Sign the petition, send a coat hanger.

In a backroom deal brokered to get the votes necessary to pass the House health care bill, one amendment was allowed an up-or-down vote on the floor. That amendment, the Stupak amendment — which passed on a vote of 240 to 194 — is the most serious assault on abortion rights in a generation.

What's more, according to FiveThirtyEight.com, 20 of the 64 Democrats who joined Republicans to pass the measure are nominally pro-choice.

Sign the petition, send a coat hanger.

Why did pro-choice Democrats vote to approve the Stupak amendment? We're telling these 20 Democrats — all men — to reconsider their vote and urge Congressional leadership to do everything they can to ensure the health care bill that comes out of committee does not take us back to an era of coat hangers and back alley abortions.

Sign our petition and we'll send a coat hanger to the 20 formerly pro-choice Democrats who voted to take away women's rights.

If the Stupak amendment is allowed to stand, it would ban private insurers who participate in the insurance exchange created by the health care bill from covering abortion as a part of women's reproductive health care. Tens of millions of women would be affected.

These 20 formerly pro-choice Democrats need to hear that it is NOT ok to throw women under the bus when it comes to passing health care.

Back in 1992, Working Assets helped its members send coat hangers to Congress. Now, 17 years later, it's time to do it again.

Please sign the petition, send a coat hanger, and tell your friends about CREDO's SendACoatHanger.com campaign.

Sincerely,
Laura Scher, CEO of CREDO Mobile
Michael Kieschnick, President of CREDO Mobile
Becky Bond, Political Director of CREDO Action

6. What I don't get are the two who have decent

Planned Parenthood scores and zero fetus fetish scores.

What were they thinking? Were they thinking?

[livetohike]

2. Done! n/t

[notadmblnd]

3. Stupak is one of those C Street "christians"

he can get away with anything cause he "knows" Jesus. :sarcasm:

[Warpy]

7. That needs to be a litmus test for voting

I have no problem with mainstream Christians.

I have a huge problem with the fake Christians in what I firmly to believe is another of Moon's organizations.

I just hope someone with more resources than I have is checking them out for that connection. Their "theology" is pure Moonie.

Can't sign the petition, however - no listing for APO's

I wish people understood that not everyone in the military votes republican. Sometimes, it makes an impact for Congress critters to see a military address.

24. Vic Snyder is on the list, but he isn't pro-choice. He is my b-i-l's best

friend and fellow MD. They both are absolutely against a woman's right to choose. I wasn't appreciated when I stated that neither one had any skin in the game, i.e., can't get pregnant, and who in hell did they think they are being against something that only applies to the other gender?

I did note that Planned Parenthood gave him 83, which is surprising.

26. Pointless, unless....

The coat hanger is spread apart in the opposite direction and the hanger is fashioned into a sharper hook. With a piece of meat attached to the hook. Rusty hangers add that special homely touch.

Oh, will also make a lovely Christmas (that'll piss'em off) gift to your Republican Congressman/woman and/or Senator.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

27. done. Thanks.

I get Credo mailings too, but hadn't seen this.

I hope they get coverage out here in the boonies. Would love to support them.

28. I just didl PLEASE EVERYONE SIGN UP! THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR DAUGHTERS AND GRANDDAUGHTERS!

We must do what we can for our posterity. Their lives are at stake. I am a woman "of a certain age" who has fought this fight way back in the 70s. I am still fighting, not for me now but for my daughters and my 3 granddaughters. If NOTHING else, we must fight for them! They cannot do it. We MUST do it.
