The Congress could run over women's right to choose in the upcoming health care bill negotiations.  Will you get stuck under the bus?



Not Under The Bus, a campaign for Women's Health Care sponsored by the Women's Media Center, has taken the Stop Stupak movement by storm.  Their website, in addition to offering compelling graphics and multimedia efforts to inspire action, compiles a list of every petition, blog, and movement aimed at passing comprehensive health care in the Congress.  And by comprehensive, I mean health care that fully covers women in addition to the male congressional majority, that doesn't ask women to plan for unplanned pregnancies, and that values reproductive health care as an integral and normal part of the medical world.

Not Under The Bus presents would-be activists and health care reform aficionados alike with a concrete plan of action: Get Informed.  Send Your Message.  Be a Voice in the Media.  Connect.  Tell Your Friends.  

Tomorrow, Thursday January 13th, is the official day of action sponsored by Not Under The Bus, but it is never too late or too early to stand up for women's health.  I encourage you to visit their website, sign their petition to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, or better yet, to sign all of the petitions floating around online.  Not Under The Bus provides a user-friendly compilation of efforts from the ACLU, NARAL, and NOW, among others, and is trying to reach 1000 signatures on its own petition by tomorrow.

Tomorrow, spread the word: follow Not Under The Bus on twitter, or post an action alert on facebook.

Will you let Congress run you over?  Or will you stop the bus, get on, and drive it toward fair, safe, coverage for women?
