I’m going to be at the Rockville, MD phone bank on December 12. Hope you can join us — jh
This weekend scores of One Voice For Choice volunteers gathered in the homes of their friends and neighbors in Texas and California and began reaching out to thousands of pro-choice (and very likely) Democratic voters across the country.
We’re reaching out to every one of the 64 districts where Democrats voted for the anti-choice Stupak amendment. The response has been tremendous. The overwhelming majority of the voters we contacted agree – passing health care reform in this country shouldn’t come at the cost of women’s reproductive rights. And they’re willing to add their names to a list of constituents telling their Congress Member loud and clear that they want them to vote for a final health care reform bill that’s free of the Stupak ban.
Stupak, can you hear us now? It’s the sound of your bluff being called. Motivated voters will not allow you to hold health care reform hostage at the expense of a woman’s right to cho0se.
And for you Democrats in Congress who supported the most serious assault on reproductive freedom in a generation by voting for his amendment?
As Jane rightly pointed out, without the votes of women, Democrats are going nowhere in 2010.
We have phone banks coming up this week in the DC Metro area, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas and California.
Join one of phone bank efforts already going, or if there’s not one in your district, to start one of your own. It’s easy, it’s fun, and best of all, it works.

About FDL Action
Thanks so much, Marta. I’m going to be at the Maryland phone bank on Dec. 12. Really looking forward to it.
Fantastic!
I’m going through the process right now to register a phone bank:
SATURDAY, DEC 19
Knoxville, TN
1pm-5pm
I need at least two other people to make it successful!
I’m trying to log in so I can register the event, but I keep getting this:
I’m concerned because I’m at the location where I want to run the phone bank and the problem might be with the wi fi here or with this facility’s restrictions.
But if I can access firedoglake, shouldn’t I be able to access onevoiceforchoice too?
The log-in details for Action are not the same as for regular FDL sites.
Did you register as a separate user at Action before creating the event?
That’s what I was trying to do, starting from the link in this post, but it wouldn’t work.
However, I went to the email I received on Saturday and went through that way. IT WORKS!
What should I put for the EVENT TITLE?
Just “Knoxville, TN”?
That should work.
In the Senate yesterday:
Voting on the Pryor and Gregg ‘side-by-side’ amendments and the Nelson/Stupak abortion amendment is in order starting at about 3:15 p.m. today.
http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN2_rm.aspx
For a title, I put “Defending Reproductive Rights ’09″
Any chance we can call constituents in Jim Cooper’s district (TN-05) at this event in Knoxville?
I just linked to this post in the side column at Circleparkforum.
I put up a separate announcement to the upcoming Knoxville event on Dec 19 there too.
