Congressman Joe Pits (R-PA) has filed a fix to ObamaCare that would reinstate the Hyde amendment protections that prevented Governement paid abortions, called HR 5111 The Protect Life Act. This law is needed because Obama's executive order is only a promise, not a law, to protect the unborn, and we know about Obama and promises.

REPEAL, baby, REPEAL!

REPEAL OBAMACARE!   Obamacare: abortion funding, rationing, denial of care based on age or disability, and the slashing of conscience rights for doctors and patients.  The implementation of these horrors is proving even worse than we predicted!   The government must facilitate ethical, affordable, life-affirming health care.  The first step is repeal.  We will not repeal Obamacare unless we keep it in the public eye.  We will not elect good candidate unless we keep it in the public eye!  Obama and Pelosi and Reid hope that people will forget about it until too late.  At the Annual Meeting that MCFL we launched a statewide petition drive calling on Congress to repeal Obamacare.  It is up to us - to you and me - to keep Obamacare on the front burner!  As you collect names on these petitions, you will be educating people, keeping the buzz high, and getting huge numbers of names to send to Congress.  Your work will impact the fall elections and the way every Congressman votes!   We will bring all the petitions to present to our members of Congress at the March for Life in January.  We must collect the names now so that we can contact these people and educate them about Obamacare and the elections.    Please go to the website to print out the petition, www.masscitizensforlife.org. You will also see an example of the "push" card.  We have thousands of these informative cards for you to hand out which we'll be glad to send to you. Please let us know how many you want and where to send them.  Email <action@masscitizensforlife.org> or call the MCFL office (617-242-4199) for your cards.  As you fill petitions, please return them to the MCFL office, 529 Main Street, Charlestown, 02129.  You can put one stamp on an envelope that has five petitions in it. So fill five and then five more...    Your work will make a real difference!  Anne      DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

DISCLOSE ACT passed the House, 219 - 206!

The Disclose Act: Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act (I kid you not) passed, 219 - 206 late this afternoon with all ten Massachusetts Congressmen voting for it.  According to Newsmax: "Heritage Foundation legal scholar Hans A. Von Spakovsky, a former member of the Federal Election Commission, tells Newsmax that the timing of the legislation indicates its true purpose is muzzling groups that otherwise might freely voice their opposition to Democratic policies in campaign ads. "The Disclose Act, also known as H.R. 5175, is written so that it takes effect 30 days after passage -- just in time to impact the November midterms. "'That's just crazy,' Von Spakovsky tells Newsmax, "because whenever a new statute gets passed on campaign finance reform, the FEC has the job of creating the regulations needed to implement the statute. There is just no way the FEC, which I served on for two years, could in two months come up with regulations to enforce this law." "Instead, he says, Democrats 'just seem to be intent on creating a legal morass,' the uncertainty of which would discourage organizations from trying to voice their views at all. "Former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley A. Smith, chairman of the Alexandria, Va.-based Center for Competitive Politics, recently told Newsmax the Act is 'one of the most partisan pieces of legislation to come down the pike.' "One reason for the bill's revived prospects: The White House on Monday offered a strong endorsement, saying the measure 'takes great strides to hold corporations who participate in the Nation's elections accountable to the American people. As this is a matter of urgent importance, the administration urges prompt passage of the Disclose Act.' "Democrats say the Disclose Act will shed light on who the sponsors of campaign advertising really are. Conservatives, meanwhile, consider it a partisan end-run around the Supreme Court ruling designed to give Democrats an advantage in the mid-terms. "The Act stems from Citizens United vs. FEC, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down McCain-Feingold campaign-finance regulations that limited the rights of companies and associations to run political advertising. "The Supreme Court ruled such restrictions are an unconstitutional abridgement of the First Amendment's guarantees of free speech. "In his State of the Union address, President Obama publicly scolded the Supreme Court for that decision. He said the ruling would "open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections," and urged Congress "to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong." "Von Spakovsky said the bill contains numerous 'absurd'regulations, such as requiring as many as six disclaimers in a 30-second ad regarding who paid for it. "The Disclose Act also requires leading donors to actually appear in the ads to state their involvement -- whether the money they donated went to produce that particular ad or not. Nonprofits and companies would have to disclose the names of their top five donors, as well as face other restrictions.   "Such provisions, opponents of the bill say, are less about transparency than intimidating the corporate and association donors to stop promoting conservative candidates. Spakovsky predicts Democrats who try to justify the Disclose Act to constituents over the July recess are in for a big surprise. "He tells Newsmax: 'The Democrats are making a mistake because actually, when you explain to folks what's really in this act, and you explain to folks what the Supreme Court actually did, as opposed to what the media portrays, a majority of American believe in the First Amendment and they come out saying, 'This is a bad law because it infringes on people's right to speak politically.' "Leading Republicans tell Newsmax they believe that even if the bill passes the House, they have the votes to block it in the Senate." The Senate should be taking up this travesty right after the July break.  I'll let you know so that we can call Senator Brown to help the Republicans block it in the Senate. Just think, the change of seven votes would have defeated the bill! Thanks for all your calls and good work! Anne     DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

U. S. House adjourns until tomorrow, 6/22. Still time to call on Disclose Act

The House met this morning at 11:00, had their opening prayer, and adjourned at 11:03. Pelosi must not yet have the votes for H.R 5175 If you have not called, please put in a forceful call right now to your Congressman   If we defeat this in the House, we won't be calling the Senators again about it.

Kagan hearings start today - your calls are vital!

Kagan hearings start on Monday.  Kagan is not qualified. Her brief on military recruitment was turned down by all the judges on the Supreme Court.  The case she chose as her Solicitor General debut was Citizens United vs the Federal Election Commission.  She argued in favor of muzzling advocacy groups like right to life groups.  Again, the SCOTUS judges had no use for her reasoning.    Any appointed Obama judge will be liberal, but philosphically, Kagan is a clone of Obama.    Even with the limited information on her, we know that she is on record taking positions that are pro Partial Birth Abortion and pro Physician Assisted Suicide. We know, in the Clinton White House, she placed political considerations above legal considerations. It is vital that the Republican members of the Senate stay feisty.  In order to repeal Obamacare, we must elect more Republicans.  People will not vote in the fall for whimps or conformers. Please call Scott Brown with that message:  202-224-4543 Brown has been hearing the message, but he needs to hear it from YOU NOW!   Your call today will effect an election tomorrow!  Thank you, Anne      DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

Importance of fathers in preventing abortions

We think of the woman having an abortion as a scared teenager.    For the past five years or more, the typical woman having an abortion is older and already has at least one child.  These women know they are carrying a baby but, studies show, they think they are making a responsible decision.  Raising their other children has taught them the importance of the child's father.  When such a woman sees that she and her child will not have that support, she feels the responsible thing to do is to abort her baby. Today feminists, academia, media, government, and "the institutions" are trying to convince us that men are bumbling, irrelevant, etc.  These women know better!  And so do all of us pro-lifers! Thanks to all you fathers, grandfathers, Godfathers, perspective fathers, and honorary fathers for who you are and what you do! God bless you! Anne       DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

House took vacation yesterday - did not have "Disclose" votes

Congressman Ed Markey suggested early Thursday evening that the House reconvene on Monday.  They could not vote on Disclose Act, H.R. 5175 (S. 3295) on Friday because they did not have the votes.  Pelosi plans to have the votes by the middle of next week at the latest.  We have kept her from getting her numbers before.  We must do it again! As National Right to Life says, "Our members and supporters have a right to support our public advocacy about important and controversial issues without having their identifying information posted on the Internet, exposing them to harassment or retribution by those who may disagree with their beliefs." It is fine to leave a message over the weekend urging a "no" vote on H. R. 5175. Senator Scott Brown, 202-224-4543 Senator John Kerry, 202-224-2742 Congressman John W.

Merry is amazing!

I saw my first Choose Life license plates today - on my car!  The plates are beautiful.  They raise money for Crisis Pregnancy Centers, they raise public awareness, and they raise the spirits of pro-life people. Merry Nordeen and her husband, Ken, cannot be thanked too much for their amazing feat.  Today the Globe covered Merry and the plates.  The reporter obviously kept trying to get the anti-life groups to do something.  They are beautifully boxed in!  Of course, they could start a campaign for "Choose Death" plates. Just today so many people told me that they had been meaning to get the plates and planned to right now.  The Nordeens tell you how: Hi All, Another update regarding the Choose Life plate...it's already on sale at the RMV and you can order it here:  http://www.mass.gov/rmv/express/chooselife.htm Please forward this to your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and fellow church members. We need to sell at least 1300 more plates in the next year and a half, and of course we hope to go well beyond that goal. Every plate will provide an annual revenue stream of $20 to the crisis pregnancy centers of Massachusetts, so 3000 plates will generate $60,000 per year, but 5000 plates would give us $100,000 per year (a much nicer number :-) Thanks again for your prayers and support. Peace, Ken and Merry Nordeen Choose Life, Inc. I'll wave when I see your plate!  Anne    DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

H. R. 5175 is much worse...

A diligent member from Needham has found another dark side to the "Disclose Act", HR 5175.   Just imagine: a person makes a donation to MCFL to help to buy materials for us to distribute to students. At some point we run a radio ad asking people to call their representatives about some legislation.  That forces MCFL to give that kind donor's name to the government which will post it on a web site to which we will have to link. And of course, it will be illegal to tell anyone about an incumbent's voting record for four months before an election.  We would be forbidden even to send an email like this one. The sponsors of this bill know it is unconstitutional.  It will go into effect 30 days after passage and there won't be time for the Supreme Court to stop it before the 2010 elections.. They know cheating is their only defense against getting trounced this fall! The vote is expected Friday.  If you have not yet called your Congressman and Senators Brown and Kerry, please call NOW!  Tell them HR 5175 is an infringement on your First Amendment rights and you expect them to vote against it.  Leave your name and address with the request that he/she contacts you to tell you how he/she voted on HR 5175.   Senator Scott Brown, 202-224-4543 Senator John Kerry, 202-224-2742 Congressman John W. Olver , 202-225-5335 Congressman Richard E. Neal, 202-225-5601 Congressman James P. McGovern, 202-225-6101 Congressman Barney Frank, 202-225-5931 Congressman Niki Tsongas, 202-225-3411 Congressman John F. Tierney, 202-225-8020 Congressman Edward J. Markey, 202-225-2836 Congressman Michael Capuano, 202-225-5111 Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, 202-225-8273 Congressman William D. Delahunt, 202-225-3111   This could undo all the good the movement has accomplished in the past year.  Please call!  Thank you, Anne PS  A letter that National Right to Life sent to all House members can be found here.          DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

Congressional attack on Pro-Life Freedom of Speech!

The Supreme Court struck down "incumbent protection" legislation in January, 2010. Now Obama and Congress are trying to pass new legislation forbidding MCFL and other advocacy groups from informing the voters about voting records of incumbents. The U.S. House of Representatives could take up the "DISCLOSE Act" (H.R.5175) as early as June 17th!  If the House passes the bill, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid has also promised quick action, perhaps in July - in time to muzzle pro-life groups for the fall elections!  It is vital that you call your Congressman and Senators Brown and Kerry at once. This is the message which you should leave in your own words, "I urge you to oppose the so-called 'DISCLOSE Act' (H.R. 5175 in the House, S. 3295 in the Senate). I am strongly opposed to incumbent politicians trying to restrict the free speech of organizations about the elected officials who are supposed to represent us. I will be paying close attention to how the representative/senator votes on this legislation, which I view as an attack on the First Amendment."  It is fine to leave your message on a voice mail.  Just be sure to leave your name and address also. The vote may come as early as Thursday, so call now.  Call your own Congressman and both Senators. Senator Scott Brown, 202-224-4543 Senator John Kerry, 202-224-2742 Congressman John W. Olver , 202-225-5335 Congressman Richard E. Neal, 202-225-5601 Congressman James P. McGovern, 202-225-6101 Congressman Barney Frank, 202-225-5931 Congressman Niki Tsongas, 202-225-3411 Congressman John F. Tierney, 202-225-8020 Congressman Edward J. Markey, 202-225-2836 Congressman Michael Capuano, 202-225-5111 Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, 202-225-8273 Congressman William D. Delahunt, 202-225-3111 This is dreadful legislation!  Please act quickly!   Mighty thanks, Anne          DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!

Congratulations to Dean John Garvey!

Catholic University of America has just announced the selection of John Garvey, Dean of Boston College Law School, as its next President. Dean Garvey has been most generous to Mass Citizens.  He has made available the beautiful facilities of the Law School for MCFL Board meetings and Conventions.  He addressed our Conventions the last two years.  People are still quoting his recent presentation on conscience rights.  We are certainly grateful for his scholarship, his leadership, and his gracious way. I know you join me in wishing him the very best at Catholic University - and in hoping we may get to see him when we are in DC next January 22nd!  Anne          DONATIONS - WE NEED AND APPRECIATE THEM!  THANK YOU!
