"A powerful new ad"...

Received this in my email---
I do hope to see this ad soon.

I wasn't sure if I would post it until I read Astra's comment to Heidi's blog
entitled: "Boehner: If Jobs Are Lost As A Result Of GOP Spending Cuts 'So Be It'... "

Wills reply...
"The American people are going to soon learn the irresponsibility of re-electing the Republicans...."

Read on. See how they (GOP) are trying to circumvent the healthcare passage, and try to limit womens choices for insurance coverage.

Make sure to check out # 6... While I am not a woman to seek an abortion, this just makes me ill to read every time I see an article like it!
I was fortunate to be able to carry all my children to term... Not everyone is.

Links below are all clickable and all are from this year.

PS
"Lisa Edelstein" is Dr. Cuddy by the way...

Dear MoveOn member,

Today, we're releasing a powerful new ad. "We Won't Go Back," with Lisa Edelstein, star of the hit TV show "House," is a hard-hitting portrayal of where the Republican war on women's health will lead if it's not stopped.

From a bill attempting to redefine rape to gutting access to reproductive health care, Republicans have made anti-woman and anti-choice legislation a top priority this year.¹

The new ad calls out the Republican efforts for what they are: an attempt to send women back to the back alley. But far too few people even know about their efforts. So to stop them, we've got to get this ad out far and wide, and make sure voters see just what Republicans are trying to do.

Women's rights leaders have warned that the Republican effort would be a radical, far-reaching rollback of women's rights. Rep. Carolyn Maloney called it "the deepest attack on a woman's right to choose in my lifetime."² Expert Jessica Arons said it would "accomplish the unstated end of making abortion as difficult to obtain as possible without actually criminalizing it."³

One bill would effectively prevent women from purchasing insurance that includes abortion coverage in the new insurance exchanges even if they're using their own money. Experts warn this type of restriction could lead to insurance companies dropping abortion coverage entirely.⁴ The same bill would also levy a tax on small businesses and individuals who purchase insurance coverage that includes abortion.⁵

Another bill would, incredibly, allow hospitals to turn away a woman seeking an abortion, even if she'll die without it—a major change from current law.⁶

Republicans have a real chance of passing these bills—unless we sound the alarm right away. Can you help us get this new ad on the air? Just click here to donate and watch the new ad:

Joe Jackson is a _____ (?)

I look forward to your comments to 'complete' my title-

Punk-

... and I quote:

"Let’s face it: dogs just stink, (and the people who get so powerfully attached to them – for God knows what sick and twisted reasons) – stink too."

"If I can smell a dog, it is killing me. Even if I can’t smell it, I can see it, which causes me psychological distress."

"If they want to roll around in dog hair in their stinking homes, then good luck to them. Unless, of course, there are children present, in which case the dogs should be forcibly removed and shot.  Likewise if the dog addict’s flat adjoins another. The same, naturally, goes for their cars. To have a dog in one’s car when a child is present is clearly a form of child abuse."


Joe Jackson is a musician and writer- Or so the article states...
Personally, I think he is a narrow-minded fool without a heart.

While I do not really think an untrained 'pet' should be in a public place, this guy carries any dog ban to an unacceptable level.
Even the people I know that are allergic to dogs do not feel this hateful and murderous toward a dog...
I cannot even begin to imagine what life must be like- And I don't want to know.

Now 'scuse me while I go smooch on my smelly dog so she doesn't feel the need to go hunt him down and bite his stupid and damnable ass.

XOXO
Me
