February 16, 2011 Dear Friend, The House of Representatives is now in the process of debating and passing H.R. 1, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011. While some 700 amendments have been offered to this funding bill, all these amendments will not be considered on the House floor. A number of amendments affecting funding of abortion have been introduced. Please immediately click on the link below to send the message to your Representative: "During consideration of the Continuing Resolution, H.R. 1, please uphold policies that restrict the funding of abortion and oppose all efforts to weaken these policies." In 2010, Congress failed to pass the 12 annual appropriations bills for fiscal year 2011. H.R. 1 would extend the spending authority of the federal government to the end of the current fiscal year (September 30, 2011). Congress must pass H.R. 1 by March 4 or pass another short-term CR. Time is short. The House may complete consideration of H.R. 1 on Thursday, February 17, or perhaps on Friday, February 18. Thank you for your patience during this busy time in Congress! Michael Taylor Executive Director
