Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
Monday Action Item: Planned Parenthood Vote may be today.
Credits: AFA: American Action Alert and Florida Family Action
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the U.S. Senate will vote this week on a bill to completely defund Planned Parenthood Federation of America, following four shocking videos showing the abortion provider actively engages in the harvesting and selling of the body parts of aborted babies. See earlier alert here.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) quickly garnered at least 32 co-sponsors for S. 1881: A bill to prohibit Federal funding of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
The key language of the bill reads, "...no Federal funds may be made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, or clinics."
Now is the best opportunity we've ever had to finally defund Planned Parenthood the $540 million dollars they receive from taxpayers! The bill will instead direct that money to organizations that provide for women's health – but don't abort unborn children.
As barbaric as Planned Parenthood's actions are, there are some senators who want to continue funding it with YOUR tax dollars.
It is critical that you contact your senators today and urge them as strongly as possible to vote in favor of S. 1881, to protect women's health and defund Planned Parenthood!

You can use this sample email text below to ask Senator Bill Nelson to vote YES on S. 1881:
"A series of undercover videos has exposed Planned Parenthood’s dangerous and deadly practices.
These videos have shown top Planned Parenthood officials and medical staff callously discussing the strategic dismemberment of pre-born children for the possible sale of their organs.
According to their most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood received more than $500 million in federal funds. This is unacceptable.
Please, stop this inhumane organization from receiving a dime of taxpayer money. Vote YES on S. 1181."
"The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its children."

Have C-Span on and listening to the various Senator's give their take on the issue. That alone could drive one crazy. My question to several of them is this: If Obamacare was MANDATED then how is the issue of moving federal dollars from Planned Parenthood to community clinics a cut to women's rights? Don't clinic's and Doctor's offices provide these same services (minus the abortions?).. To say that not one penny of our tax dollars goes to abortions is not comforting when it comes from a government that has Medicare and Medicaid that are filled with abuse or from a government that cannot take care of our Vets or implement an enrollment system to support it's own healthcare law. .....

Well once again we have been betrayed by McConnell and company--Instead of allowing the bill to be attached as an amendment to another bill--therefore only requiring 50 plus 1 vote he set it up by itself requiring 60 votes. Don't any of you get it --Its us against the dems and the publicans.We have no voice in washington--its just us and Smith and Wesson

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
