Dems block vote to override President's veto. saved Planned Parenthood. & Obamacare

BREAKING NEWS: Ryan’s veto override BLOCKED!

[2016-02-02 5:57PM EST]

Minutes ago, Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in the House BLOCKED a vote to override President Obama’s veto, SAVING Obamacare and Planned Parenthood!

Sign your name to thank Nancy Pelosi
and House Democrats >>

Last month, President Obama vetoed a bill that would have repealed Obamacare and defunded Planned Parenthood.

We must send a message loud and clear: If you truly value families, you shouldn't play politics with women's health. - President Obama

Republicans in the House just held a vote to OVERRIDE President Obama’s veto and conclusively seal the fate for both Planned Parenthood and Obamacare.

This was their 63rd vote to repeal Obamacare and their 12th vote attacking women’s health services in the past year.

Thankfully, Democrats banded together to stop this from happening.

American women are witnessing a brazen and concerted Republican effort to roll back their constitutional right to make their own health decisions. - Nancy Pelosi

But we haven't forgotten her easy dismissal of universal health care, and whatever other liberal policies that she doesn't have the votes for ...

First comes the WILL to make changes, then comes the organizing effort ....

No more right wing democrats!

People should not expect politicians to lead the way. Politicians follow the voters.
