Dear NOW Leaders,

Just wanted to let you know we have posted an update on the attacks on birth control going on in both the U.S. Senate and the House:

Many of you hit the phones early this week -- when we thought there might be a floor vote as early as Tuesday or yesterday -- to urge your senators to vote NO on the Blunt Amendment. Thank you! Your calls are working. The vote still has not taken place, so we need to keep the pressure up (or better yet, increase it) for NO votes on the Blunt Amendment. These senators especially need to hear from their constituents:

» Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) 202-224-6665

» Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) 202-224-4041

» Tom Carper (D-Del.) 202-224-2441

» Bill Nelson (D-Fl.) 202-224-5274

» Mary Landreiu (D-La.) 202-224-5824

» Olympia Snowe (R-Me.) 202-224-5344

» Susan Collins (R-Me.) 202-224-2523

» Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) 202-224-2043

» Bob Casey (D-Pa.) 202-224-6324

» Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) 202-224-5842

» Jim Webb (D-Va.) 202-224-4024

Thank you for all you are doing for women's rights and lives, Terry O'Neill, President National Organization for Women
