MundiMuster! Tell Your Pathetic Vascillating Congress Member NO on the Stupak Amendment! Don't Restrict Women's Right to Choose Even Further!

Use this tool to contact your Member of Congress NOW, before this outrageous last minute effort of assholes succeeds, throwing women's health under the bus as the price for any kind of motion on health care reform.

When I call congresswoman Pelosi's office it told me that no one was in the office and her mailbox is full... I wonder how often they are checked?

Believe me, they are checking, and they know. Word is that the outpouring of outrage has been intense, that voicemailboxes have filled up everywhere, and that congresscritters are somewhat taken aback by the epic push-back this pathetic stealthy weekend-timed bit of dinosaur poop has provoked. Of course, Pelosi is the least of our problems strictly speaking on this score -- I'm in much the same lovely boat, since it's Barbaras Lee and Boxer who represent us here and they can almost always be counted on to be among the best on the issues that matter to us.

64 Judases to be bounced in the primaries next year. See you later, dickweeds.

I am interested most in those who voted "yes" on the vile Stupak Amendment and then went on to vote "no" on the bill anyway. I get it that we are a "Big Tent," but a double fail on Choice and on the too-close vote for actually-available Healthcare Reform when push comes to shove looks to me like a double-fail on the fraking signature issues on which the future of the Party depends (setting aside for the moment the ugly idiotic evil of such positions), and unless any crappy opportunist can just slap a "D" by their name without our blessing however relentlessly reactionary their votes are one really does have to draw the line somewhere, even if we are speaking the pragmatics rather than the guiding ideals here.
