WHOOOOOOOOOO

meanwhile y'all today HR3 is up. HR3 does this:

OpenCongress Summary

This bill would make permanent and expand the Hyde amendment restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortions. It seeks to prohibit even indirect funding streams that may potentially come in contact with abortion services. For example, it would deny tax credits to companies that offer health plans that cover abortions and it would block anybody with insurance that covers abortions from receiving federal subsidies or medical cost tax deductions, even if the abortion portion is paid separately with personal funds.

IOW it's a pretty clear First Amendment violation (this is Church v. State imo) and a transparent attempt to legislate morality. Even if you've already done this once, do it again if you can. It may make a difference and it takes five minutes tops.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. They'll pick up with something like "Capitol Operator." Ask to be connected to your Representative. You can ask for her/him by name, but if you don't know it, you can ask the operator to look it up by your zip code; that's not a problem. They'll connect you, and then a staffer at your Rep's office will pick up.

I'm not really eloquent when I'm talking to strangers so I just say something "I'm calling because I support reproductive rights and as a registered voter & a constituent I want to ask my representative to vote 'no' on HR 3." But you can elaborate on your thoughts which I also do sometimes.

"Hi this is underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned. I oppose HR 3. Did you guys cop that Allman Bros New Orleans show from 71? Incredible right? Thanks"

btw this "Is Osama dead?" press conference going on right now is absolutely the stupidest shit of all time, there is no hope for humans, they are just too fuckin stupid

told ya dude; there was no chance they were just gonna take Obama's word for it

btw Jim Carney is totally the indie rock press secretary - 5 bucks this dude has GBV records in his collection & his favorite song is always late on the 2nd side

You're making him sound disgraceful.

Cheney's favorite song on B1000 = Peephole

If you'd said, "Carney looks like he loves The Breakfast Club's `Right On Track,'" then RIGHT ON.
