Tell Secretary Sebelius that Vulnerable Women Deserve Abortion Coverage
|
Remember how angry women got when we were told we couldn’t use our own private dollars to obtain coverage of abortion care? Well it’s back. The Administration decided — without justification in law or policy — to ban abortion coverage in the newly created Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans.
It is still bad policy and your voice is needed.
Tell Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius how this harmful restriction undermines women’s access to reproductive health care now. Submit your comments today.
If adopted, this ban would prevent women with serious pre-existing medical conditions — like cancer or diabetes — from getting the abortion coverage they need to protect their health. And it will not even allow women the ability to pay for such coverage with their own private premium dollars.
Comments are due this Tuesday, September 28, so take action and tell Secretary Sebelius to stand up for the health of these vulnerable women and to reject this dangerous policy once and for all.
The National Women’s Law Center will not rest until the restrictions on abortion coverage are fixed. Thank you for continuing to fight with us to protect women’s health.
 Sincerely,Judy WaxmanVice President for Health and Reproductive Rights National Women’s Law Center |
P.S. Help us continue to protect women’s reproductive rights and expand the opportunities for women and their families. Support our work today.

Hollering …
Back in Tennessee there’s an old saying: When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.
Remember, Republicans orchestrated a takeover of Congress in 1994 with the same strategy of obstructionism and nay-saying that they’re using now. They can only do it again if we let them. I’m totally dedicated to supporting President Obama and our Democrats in Congress at this critical time.
I hope I can count on you to do the same. Please let me hear from you before the September 30th deadline.
Sincerely,
Al Gore

Lindi, Kassidy, Ashley, Jay and Matt
Let’s face it; this election is going to be close.
It’s more important than ever that we defend our progressive leaders already in Congress and continue to lead the charge to pick up open seats and challenge vulnerable Republicans.
DFA has already raised over $500,000 for progressives candidates, made over 50,000 calls to voters in targeted districts, and delivered thousands of boots-on-the-ground volunteer hours focused on working to win.
Now, we’re stepping it up another notch.
Meet Lindi, Kassidy, Ashley, Jay, and Matt — our first five trained Dean Corps staffers already on the ground on some of the tightest, most important races across the country. They’re training and recruiting volunteers, organizing events and phonebanks, and contacting voters and making a difference for DFA endorsed candidates up and down the ballot everywhere they go. But they can’t succeed without our support.

It’s coming down to the line. The November election is only 40 days away and, in some states, early voting has already started. Polls show many progressive Democrats barely ahead, in the margin of error, or worse… behind by double digits… even against racist Tea Party Republicans that shouldn’t even have a chance.
Matt Winner is working to deliver victory for Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy and progressive Democrats across Ohio.
Kassidy Johnson is mobilizing voters for Democrats in Rep. Tom Perriello’s district in Virginia.
In Iowa, Lindi Conover is focused on taking down Republican Chuck Grassley and electing Roxanne Conlin to shake up the U.S. Senate.
Ashley Green‘s in Pennsylvania helping Democrats and Manan Trivedi win a Republican-held seat that Obama won in 2008.
And Jay Matthew is on the ground working for Bill White for Governor to make sure Democrats finally turn Texas blue just in time for redistricting in 2011.
It’s up to us to make sure progressives win in November. All of them. Alan Grayson, Raul Grijalva, Barbara Boxer, Elaine Marshall. All of them. Working together, we can win these races, but we can’t hold anything back.
Make sure progressives win in 2010 — Contribute $5 right now to fuel the campaign
The first five Dean Corps staffers are already on the ground making a difference in these campaigns. It’s up to us to back them up.
I know I can count on you. Thank you for everything you do.
