Long story short: tell an Ohio prosecutor to drop charges against a woman who miscarried, and tell your Congressfolk to reject any “fiscal commission” for Social Security and preserve the PEPFAR program. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Moms Rising helps you tell Trumbull County, OH’s prosecutor to drop abuse-of-corpse charges against Brittany Watts. Because she miscarried and then tried to flush the corpse down the toilet, and folks who think that’s funny ought to think about all the times they handled a tragic situation badly. Used to be this kind of thing – charging a woman with a crime because she miscarried – only happened in other countries, but not now! Ha ha ha the future is so awesome! Seriously, miscarriage is a tragedy, not a crime, and folks who think mothers routinely pretend an abortion is a miscarriage must all have penises. Or be them.
Demand Progress helps you tell your Congressfolk to reject any legislation that includes a “fiscal commission” aiming to cut Social Security and medicare benefits. That’s what these “behind closed doors” commissions aim to do, and they need to be “behind closed doors” because you could never cut Social Security in the light of day. Some folks call a Social Security “fiscal commission” a death panel, and good for them, but there’s another name for such a “fiscal commission”: fascist. Because any time you try to limit debate and feedback from the people, you’re being a fascist. End of.
Finally, Civic Shout helps you tell your Congressfolk to protect the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (or PEPFAR), which funds the AIDS fight overseas and which right-wingers in Congress now want to cut, claiming the program – possibly the greatest/only achievement of the George W. Bush Presidency – promotes promiscuity and abortion and Satan and oh STFU right-wingers! That ship sailed once Elton John talked Nancy Reagan into talking Ronald Reagan into funding AIDS research because babies get it now. Elton John is going to heaven, and not just for “Philadelphia Freedom.”
