Awesome video: Stupak as Braveheart stands against Obama and Pelosi
Topics: Political News and commentariesVia StandwithStupak.com (Notice the faces):
Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Leaders have gone back on their word. They refuse to remove abortion subsidies from the healthcare bill.Rep. Bart Stupak has steadfastly opposed these attempts to hijack healthcare reform with big bailouts for the abortion industry.
Stupak is standing strong on principle and refuses to roll over.
"Even if [the Democratic Leaders] don't have the votes, it's been made clear to us that they won't insert our language on the abortion issue," said Stupak.
But Stupak says Pelosi is trying to strong-arm the 12 pro-life Democrats aligned with Stupak. The pressure is extremely intense and Pelosi is willing to win at any cost.
"I am a definite 'no' vote," said Stupak. "The others are having both of their arms twisted, and we're all getting pounded by our traditional Democratic supporters, like unions."
The Unions are even promising to recruit primary challengers against anyone who refuses to support this pro-abortion healthcare bill.
We can't stay silent. There's too much at stake. These men and women need our help!
