Stand Firm - NO 'Deem & Pass' for Pro-Abortion Health Bill
Your response has been unbelievable. Each day, we are receiving thousands of calls and online support for our petition opposing the legislative scheme in the House called 'deem and pass' - a legislative maneuver that would actually ram through the pro-abortion health care plan WITHOUT a vote on the plan itself.
The American people understand that this kind of action is unacceptable. And, they are speaking out. With the House set to act on this 'deem and pass' strategy, expected on Sunday afternoon, I want to encourage you to continue to voice your opposition - there's still time to derail this dangerous health care package.
We have a new petition online - specifically opposing this 'deem and pass' scheme - something we consider to be unconstitutional. Please add your name right now.
You understand that process does matter - even though President Obama and House Speaker Pelosi - have rejected that notion. And you understand that our health care dollars should never be used to fund abortion. That's why your participation now is so important.
We're at a critical stage. The pro-abortion, Democratic majority does not have the votes to succeed at this point. Let's keep that from happening. Add your name to our petition now.
I also want you to know that I am working with our litigation team and preparing a legal challenge to the unconstitutional use of the 'deem and pass' tactic. I am still confident we can defeat this in the House. But if we need to file a federal lawsuit - we will go to federal court - representing you - our members, our supporters - challenging a constitutionally-flawed tactic used to enact a government-run, pro-abortion health care plan.
Join us for the latest on our radio program - Jay Sekulow Live! - and as developments unfold on Sunday, we will bring you the latest - including our reaction and perspective - once the House takes action on Sunday.
