MEDIA ALERT:
Watch me tonight at 6pm ET on CBS Evening News about the passing of the Stupak Amendment
Dear Londa,
Yesterday, while Americans United for Life Action was busy fighting for you in the final hours of the vote for the House health care bill, Planned Parenthood sent an urgent e-mail of desperation trying to rally pro-choice activists to help them fight the pro-life Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts-Kaptur-Dahlkemper-Lipinski-Smith Amendment.
What they didn’t account for is that YOU have been an incredible champion for life over these past few months by vigorously contacting Congress through phone calls, e-mails, letters and district office visits. That teamwork led to a remarkable victory.
The pro-life Democrats and Republicans took a stand for the sanctity of life by passing the Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts-Kaptur-Dahlkemper-Lipinski-Smith Amendment on a vote of 240 to 194. This amendment prohibits the use of federal dollars to fund abortion in health care.
This victory is a step toward a future where both
political parties defend Life.
But one victory does not mean the battle is won.
Yesterday’s rhetoric from the Democratic leadership indicates an intention to subvert the bipartisan pro-life majority. We are deeply concerned that Democratic leadership intends to undermine this victory that reflects the will of an overwhelming majority of Americans.
The battle will move quickly over to the Senate. We all have to take a deep breath and refocus our efforts toward watching the final language of the Senate bill to ensure that pro-life protections remain in the final health care bill.
While we applaud the passage of the Stupak-Pitts amendment, serious concerns about H.R. 3962 remain. The Rules Committee did not permit amendments to address concerns about conscience protection, the use of comparative effectiveness research and end of life provisions. (See our legal team’s analysis on the AUL blog.)
We must keep a watchful eye on Congress in the coming days and weeks to make sure the health care bill contains pro-life protections. Every moment that you took to wait on the line to talk to your Congressmen, write an e-mail or letter, you helped protect the sanctity of life.
Thank you for standing strong with us in showing Congress that Real Health Care Respects Life!

Dear Londa,
Bart StupakSince my message to you yesterday morning, news on the health care bill has changed almost hourly. Then my phone rang around dinner time Friday evening with the news that the Democrats in the House were meeting behind closed doors with Speaker Nancy Pelosi to try to work a deal to solve "the abortion problem."
The inside reports we had were that the Speaker was working to craft a deal that she would describe as "pro-life" that would still keep Planned Parenthood happy. No surprise there.
But now, as I write this at 2:41 AM, we've received the news that the Democratic leadership WILL ALLOW A VOTE on the pro-life amendment by Bart Stupak (seen right) and Joe Pitts!
Your calls and emails have made the difference.
Because of your efforts, Speaker Pelosi did not have the votes to shut out pro-life concerns and continue to refuse to allow a vote on the Stupak/Pitts amendment.
Now we have to win that vote.
* Please take a moment right now to call Rep. Lynn Jenkins (202) 225-6601 and tell him/her to vote YES on Stupak/Pitts and keep abortion out of health care reform.
If Nancy Pelosi has her way, health care reform will be the LARGEST expansion of taxpayer dollars for abortion in our history.
Be a part of this important moment for the pro-life movement: Please call now. The debate is slated to start at 9am ET! Call now, and then get as many of your friends to call as possible.
Many of you have been writing to say that you've already called and want to know what to do next. The BEST thing you can do at this point is to find more people to call: Please forward this email to as many of your friends as you can and ask them to call too. THANK YOU!
The situation will change rapidly, so we will be posting information as we have it on the AUL blog, and on Twitter and Facebook.
Stay hopeful and we will all continue to press in together – we hear that Speaker Pelosi and the abortion lobby do not yet have the votes they need to pass this anti-life health care legislation. Wavering Congressmen need to hear from us. So thank you for standing strong with us today to show Congress that Real Health Care Respects Life!

ONE MORE DAY UNTIL SATURDAY'S VOTE!
Dear Londa,
This is the moment. Today is the day for taking a stand. We are on the eve of the vote on the U.S. House of Representatives pro-abortion health care bill H.R. 3962.
There is nothing more important right now than FLOODING our Congressmen with calls and e-mails insisting that they vote against using federal dollars for abortion funding.
This afternoon, pro-abortion House Leaders are expected to put forward a "Rule" which BLOCKS the only Pro-Life Amendment on the table, the Stupak-Pitts Amendment, from receiving a vote.
Instead, the "Rule" is expected to include the Ellsworth Amendment, which House Leadership has been falsely calling a "pro-life" amendment. The Ellsworth Amendment allows federal funding of abortion in the public plan and allows government subsidies to go to private plans that include abortion coverage.
Don't be fooled. Such a Rule would prevent any truly pro-life provision from being considered or included. The Stupak-Pitts Amendment is THE only provision that would truly exclude abortion funding, but we expect the Rule to bar a vote on the Stupak-Pitts Amendment.
If H.R. 3962 becomes law, it will do exactly what we have feared: It will create the largest expansion of abortion funding in over 30 years.
___________________________
We only have TODAY! Don’t delay! Help us stop abortion funding under the guise of health care reform! Call House Leadership and call your Member of Congress!
Nancy Pelosi
Please call Rep. Lynn Jenkins at (785) 234-5966 and ask them to:
1) ON FRIDAY: Vote against the Rule -- It prevents the Stupak-Pitts pro-life amendment from getting a vote.
2) ON SATURDAY: Vote against H.R. 3962 – It is an unprecedented expansion of tax-payer funded abortions.
After you have contacted your Member of Congress, you’re not done yet. The battle is still on! Future unborn generations are counting on you:
1) Please forward this e-mail to FIVE friends to help make us make an impact!
2) Organize your friends and family to go to your Congressman's district office to insist that they vote AGAINST the House health bill and its abortion subsidies!
Stop the Abortion Mandate Ad3) On Saturday, stay tuned to our liveblogging and twittering of the debate on the House floor and the final vote on the House health bill. Tell your friends and family to follow us on your social networking sites.
4) Watch our new TV ad that premiered on CNN Headline News today! In collaboration with the Stop the Abortion Mandate coalition, we are educating America about the threat to life in health care reform.
Thank you for helping us show Congress and all Americans that Real Health Care Respects Life!

Tragedies at Fort Hood and in Orlando
Yesterday, a soldier opened fire at the U.S. Army base in Fort Hood, Texas killing 13 people and wounding 31. The men and women stationed at Fort Hood and all of the men and women in our military put their lives on the line to defend and protect our nation. We never expect such violence to happen here at home.
Earlier today another shooting occurred in Orlando killing one and wounding six others. These are terrible tragedies. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims in Fort Hood and Orlando.
As Unemployment Rises, Pelosi Pushes for Job-Killing Health Care Bill
In the next 36 hours, the House Democrat leadership, led by Nancy Pelosi, will force a vote on a plan that will implement government-run health care. This plan will cost at least $1.2 trillion and according to methodologies used by President Obama’s own economic advisers, will result in as many as 5.5 million more jobs lost. This bill, which centralizes more power in Washington, DC, is bad for the economy, seniors, and families. Earlier this week, I spoke on the floor about the negative consequences of passing a government takeover of health care.
This crucial vote comes when the Department of Labor today announced that unemployment rose to 10.2 percent – the highest unemployment in 26 years. This Administration promised more jobs and a stronger economy when they quickly pushed through the so-called “stimulus” plan back in January. I continue to hear from Kansans that jobs and the economy are their number one concern. Yet Speaker Pelosi and the Obama Administration have turned a deaf ear on Kansans and folks around the nation and continue to push a health care agenda that they admit will kill 5.5 million more jobs. There is no excuse to ignore the American people any longer. I will continue to push this Administration and the majority in Congress to focus on creating jobs in the private sector instead of wasting more taxpayer dollars and increasing government spending.
CBO: Republican Plan Reduces Premiums
One of the primary problems with health care today is the rising costs. That is why I have been working on a health care working group since January to come up with solutions to make health care more affordable for the folks of Kansas. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found that the Republican health care plan will reduce premiums, cut the deficit, and not raise taxes. Check out my health care page to read the Republican plan, as well as a summary of what the bill includes.
American People Rally to Oppose the Pelosi Plan
Thousands of Americans gathered in front of the U.S. Capitol yesterday to voice their opposition to a government takeover of health care. Just as Kansans came to my 29 town halls in August to engage in the process and issues of the day, I was proud to see so many Americans getting involved in their government. After the event, I participated in a conference call with bloggers and other Republican women on the issue of health care. You can listen to the full interview here.
Letter to Kansas Health Policy Authority
The State of Kansas, like many states around the country, faces major economic challenges. In fact, Kansas is facing a $460 million budget gap next year. As the House continues to work its way through this health care debate, I am concerned how the health care legislation will affect Kansas’ budget. In addition to creating a government-run health care option, Speaker Pelosi’s bill imposes unfunded mandates on states to pay for an expansion of Medicaid. This week I sent a letter to the Kansas Health Policy Authority asking them what this bill will cost Kansas and I look forward to receiving a response. While we all share the goal of covering more of the uninsured, I cannot support a plan that will make the fiscal challenges facing Kansas even worse.

ENTERING IN THE NEW COVENANT
Entering In
The New Covenant
STEP ONE : The Sense of Sin
The New Covenant promises are not in them, because they gives way to anger, self-will, worldliness & other known violations (SIN) of God's laws. We need to accept Jesus Christ as our personal savior!
Now God will equip us to obey His laws. We will need to abide in Christ love, His power for us to walk a holy life & be well pleasing to God. The conscience will condemn us of all sins. Without abiding in Jesus Christ we will not have the winning life God wants for us. All we will have then is a failed life. We cannot expect any thing else.
When our heart is dissatisfied of our state & long for something better, our heart is prepared to receive the Gospel. The Gospel is meant to be the delivering power of sin.
STEP TWO : Cleaning
As the person heart & mind has been directed to the terms of the New Covenant/Gospel. The Bible (Word of God) has Promises of cleaning up our mind & heart. And when it is cleaned, God fills both our heart & mind with His laws, fear, & His power to keep God laws. To never depart from them. We need to keep our eyes upon God the Father, Jesus the Son, & the Holy Spirit. We will have the longing to grow in Christ & follow the Word of God. The longing will grow into hope & the promise of entering His blessed Life.
STEP THREE : Searching Our Hearts
We need to search our hearts that we give up every evil habit. All our own self-will, anger, worldliness, & other sins. To surrender our self wholly & completely to Jesus Christ our LORD. God will not take complete possession of a mans soul unless He has them completely. Happy is he who is ready for any sacrifice unto God!
STEP FOUR : Knowing Jesus is Our Mediator
We need to know that Jesus Christ our LORD is the mediator of the New Covenant/Gospel. That life of holiness & victory over sin which the New Covenant promises!! That we will claim it according to our faith in Him. It sure will be ours. That Jesus will bestow upon us the power (Holy Spirit) to make the surrender & to believe. It is Jesus & the Holy Spirit is the living one & gives us victory. Stay in their arms & if we fall they will be there to catch us.
Make Jesus your personal Mediator & Savior. Give your heart to Jesus & let Him cleanse you from all sins!
AMEN & AMEN

CORRECTED NUMBER: We discovered that Rep. Jenkins number has changed. Please call the new number below today!
IMPORTANT ALERT
CALL REP. LYNN JENKINS AT 620-231-5966 NOW
TO STOP ABORTION IN HEALTH CARE REFORM
Cecile Richards, Planned ParenthoodSpeaker Pelosi has now unveiled the new pro-abortion House bill, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Cecile Richards (seen right) wrote to her supporters rejoicing that “every version of the bills out there right now is free of the dangerous amendments anti-choice members of Congress tried to attach to health care reform.” She claimed “more than 18,000 phone calls” from Planned Parenthood supporters contacted Congress.
Unfortunately, she’s right. The new health care bill explicitly allows federal funding of abortion and permits federal subsidies to go to private insurance plans that cover abortion. The bill also ensures that at least one health insurance plan in every area of the country covers abortion.
These provisions create a dramatic change in federal law -- currently NO federal dollars are used to pay for elective abortions or insurance plans that cover abortion.
In order to stop the bill, we need your help. We can do better than Planned Parenthood’s 18,000 calls, can’t we?
Help us stop Nancy Pelosi and the House leadership and their massive expansion of abortion in health care reform.
Call Rep. Lynn Jenkins at 620-231-5966 right now and:
1. Insist that House leadership allow a vote on the Stupak/Pitts Amendment to prohibit abortion funding and no other watered-down substitution;
2. Vote “against the rule” (a procedural vote that determines whether a bill can receive a vote) if House leadership refuses to allow the Stupak/Pitts amendment to come up for a vote, and
3. Vote against the FINAL BILL in health care reform if it does not have the Stupak/Pitts amendment.
Encourage your Representative to take a stand today! And please ask your friends to do so too.
______________________
How do I call my Representative?
1. Call Rep. Lynn Jenkins at 620-231-5966
2. When the office answers, tell them your name, that you live in the Representative’s district, and your message.
3. Tell the office that you would appreciate a reply by mail from the Representative.
4. If no one answers, leave a message in their voicemail box. Every message counts!
Friends, now is the time to make a stand. We must let Congress know that the pro-life movement is watching: we must have a pro-life amendment to explicitly exclude abortion funding and coverage. If you’re not contacting your Congressman, a pro-abortionist will be, so please take action NOW by contacting Congress TODAY!

Encourage your Representative to take a stand today! And please ask your friends to do so too.
______________________
How do I call my Representative?
1. Call Rep. Lynn Jenkins at 620-231-5966
2. When the office answers, tell them your name, that you live in the Representative’s district, and your message.
3. Tell the office that you would appreciate a reply by mail from the Representative.
4. If no one answers, leave a message in their voicemail box. Every message counts!
Friends, now is the time to make a stand. We must let Congress know that the pro-life movement is watching: we must have a pro-life amendment to explicitly exclude abortion funding and coverage. If you’re not contacting your Congressman, a pro-abortionist will be, so please take action NOW by contacting Congress TODAY!

As one who subscribed on my website for information regarding the health care debate, I would like to invite you to an important health care webcast I will be conducting LIVE on Thursday, November 5th at 7:00pm EST.
I will be discussing the latest House Leadership healthcare takeover plan, what the vote this week is looking like, and how I have put forward H Res 615 as an amendment.
If you would like to join us Thursday evening, click HERE.
If you would like to ask me a question during the webcast, you can email me at: Dr.JohnCFleming@gmail.com.
In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to make you aware of the “America Makes a House Call on Congress” event taking place on the Capitol steps this Thursday, Nov 5th at noon. This is a great opportunity for the American people to make sure Washington hears their voices of one final time before the upcoming health care vote. I will be at the event and am encouraging any who are able to join us to do so and let the Democrat leadership know what you think about government-run healthcare.
I hope you can join me for both events this Thursday.
I look forward to continuing to serve America as I work here in Congress for conservative causes and hope that you will let Congress know what issues are important to you. For more information please visit my website at fleming.house.gov.

"This is it"
Congressman Mike Pence
Chairman, House Republican Conference
Dear Londa,
As I write this, I've just come from a meeting on Capitol Hill, and I have an update for you on the battle to keep abortion out of health care. The bottom-line message I bring you from the Congressmen and Senators we talked with is this: now is the time to act . . . and we need YOU to win the day. Senator John Thune, Chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee told us, "This is when it gets down to the serious moment."
The message of the day was that your Congressman really needs to hear from you. A vote on the U.S. House health bill H.R. 3942 could come to the floor as early as this SATURDAY. We heard today that after the wins of two pro-life politicians, Bob McDonnell in Virginia and Chris Christie in New Jersey on Tuesday, abortion supporters in Congress are "really sweating." It’s up to us now to be sure they understand that Americans do not want abortion in health care reform.
The House Health Care BillYesterday, the House Rules Committee announced that the "rule" for considering the health care legislation will include language put forward by Representative Brad Ellsworth, D-Ind. which the House leadership is FALSELY describing as "pro-life." Rep. Ellsworth claims his Amendment would "prevent tax-payer funded abortions." Unfortunately, his amendment does NOT prevent taxpayer funding of abortion.
The Ellsworth Amendment allows the public option to pay for abortion on demand and allows government dollars to go to private plans that cover abortion. This amendment would undermine the only pro-life amendment that truly protects life in health care reform: the Stupak-Pitts Amendment.
Our pro-life friends on the Hill are concerned that the pro-abortion House Leadership will deny the Stupak-Pitts Amendment a vote. But without that amendment, pro-life Members cannot vote for health care reform.
How You Can Help Us Fight This Pro-Abortion Health Bill Vote:
Telephone1) Please CALL Rep. Lynn Jenkins at (785) 234-5966 TODAY
* Ask him to vote AGAINST a "closed rule"
(the rule is a procedural vote that determines whether a bill can receive a vote and a closed rule will shut out the Stupak/Pitts Amendment)
* Insist that House leadership ALLOW A VOTE on the Stupak/Pitts Amendment to prohibit abortion funding
(and no other watered-down substitution like the Ellsworth Amendment);
2) Please E-MAIL your Congressman.
3) JOIN Team Life! Team Life will help provide you the resources and help you strategize how to inform your community about the threat to life in health care reform. Sign Up to become a Team Life volunteer!
4) INFORM your friends and family by sharing our video ads about abortion in health care:
* Online Video Ad: Help us spread the word about AUL Action's online video ad "Don’t Be Fooled: Abortion is in Health Care Reform" -- we are advertising it on the Drudge Report this week to raise awareness among the pro-life grassroots about federally funded abortion in the current health care reform proposals. Post the link on your social networking sites!
* New TV Ad: AUL Action in collaboration with the Stop the Abortion Mandate coalition is premiering a new :30 second TV ad on CNN this week. This TV ad dispels the myths about abortion in health care reform.
5) FORWARD this e-mail to FIVE friends and family and get them involved in stopping abortion funding under the guise of health care reform!
Thank you for all your support as we work to show Congress and all Americans that "Real Health Care Respects Life"! As Congressman Pence told us today during our meeting: THIS IS IT!
