**11/03/10 Update - Urgent Action Needed! The Assembly Appropriations has scheduled a hearing on Bills A3273 and A3274 to fund Planned Parenthood/family planning clinics for Mon.Nov. 8, 2010 at 2 p.m. in Committee Room 11, 4th Floor of the State House Annex. These are the Assembly versions of the bills which were supposed to be heard at the October 7 Senate Budget Committee that was cancelled. See below for further details.
Bill information: Bill S2293/A3274 transfers $5M of unexpended balance from Purchase of Service for Inmates Incarcerated in County Penal Facilities account from the budget and appropriates that amount for Women's Health and family planning services. Bill S2294/A3273 requires the Department of Human Services to file a permanent waiver application to expand medicaid coverage to persons up to 200% of the poverty level. The bills will ensure that Planned Parenthood/family planning clinics get reimbursed 90% for every service they provide.
An important fact that the sponsors of these bills won't mention is that a U.S. Inspector General audit found that from 2001-2005, Planned Parenthood improperly billed all outpatient services to get the 90% reimbursement rate. The State had to reimburse the federal government a total of $3M for this billing error. Their arrogance knows no bounds.
These bills are on the fast track.
1. If possible, please plan to come down to the Assembly Appropriations Hearing in Trenton on Monday, November 8 for the Hearing to show your opposition to funding Planned Parenthood/family planning clinics. Please email me at mtasy@njrtl.org if you plan to come to Trenton.
2. Please email and call the members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee listed below and the Governor with suggested message(s) as soon as possible, but before Monday. See below for list of members and suggested message.

Pro-life Candidates Victorious in Pennsylvania
It came at 12:30 am on Nov. 3, the concession speech by Joe Sestak and the Victory speech of Pat Toomey, the new junior Senator from Pennsylvania. The Toomey-Sestak race was a nail-biter, the announcement coming after much earlier announcements of Tom Corbett's victory as Governor. In northeast PA, Lou Barletta won the Eleventh Congressional District seat over 26-year incumbent Paul Kanjorski and Tom Marino beating two-term Congressman Chris Carney in the Tenth Congressional district.
It was a clean sweep for pro-life Republicans!
Pro-life Toomey beat Sestak who was endorsed by the National Abortion Rights Action League. Tom Marino beat Congressman Carney who voted for Obama's health care law that contains no abortion restrictions. Carney had a poor scorecard from National Right to Life's PAC.
It was Lou Barletta's third run against Congressman Paul Kanjorski. Kanjorski chose to side with Obama's pro-abortion agenda and his health care fiasco. Seniors who lost their Medicare Advantage plans were not fooled by the Obama Health Care laws raid on Medicare and Kanjorski's attempt to trivialize it.

Thoughts on Carney v. Marino Race by Jerry Birmelyn
I am sharing some of my thoughts on ... the 10th Congressional in northeast PA.
The incumbent, Chris Carney, is serving his second term, thanks to the poor behavior exhibited by his predecessor, Don Sherwood. He has since been clever enough to get re-elected in a GOP district by portraying himself as a "blue dog (conservative)" Democrat, while still having a voting record that is very liberal and in opposition to most 10th Congressional residents. Our local media doesn't challenge him at all and seldom reports on his voting record, so he has been able to deceive the public about the true nature of his votes.
Republican Tom Marino, answered a questionnaire from PA Family Institute,... but Carney did not.
I have also received an email from the American Family Association that lists 18 key votes by Carney, that you can see by going to:http://afaaction.net click on "Pennsylvania" and "House." There you will see in answers to issues .. that Carney has voted to restrict free speech in elections, expand federal gov. in education, support homosexuals serving in the military, Obamacare which includes federal funding for abortion among many other simply awful provisions and legislation that will lead to advocacy for same-sex marriages overseas. Not in this listing are his votes for the so-called "stimulus" legislation and Wall Street bailouts and many other similar huge spending bills that have caused our national debt to sky rocket out of control. So much for being a "blue dog."
His opponent, Tom Marino, is a former DA from Lycoming County and a former federal prosecutor. His positions are fairly conservative. I have attended meetings where he has reiterated these positions, so he is consistent in his public statements.
Tom's biggest challenge is to overcome his past association with a man, Lois DeNaples, who is quite controversial. Tom was employed by Mr. DeNaples after leaving the federal prosecutors office, to assist him with Mount Airy Lodge Casino. He has been attacked for that connection by Carney who is trying to make Marino "guilty by association." Carney has also made some charges about Marino being forced to leave office under a cloud of suspicion, but there is little evidence to support that claim and some evidence that it is really the opposite, that Marino served with distinction.
While I would not have gone to work for a man with the checkered past of Mr. DeNaples, especially in support of the gambling industry, I have to assess whether I want my Congressman to represent my values and what I think is best for the country. It is clear to me that Chris Carney has been supporting an agenda that is destroying the economic and moral fabric of our nation. He is a deceiver and lacks the character to defend his votes and, instead, has focused his campaign on attacking his opponent with peripheral issues.
When asked in a 2009 town hall meeting in Honesdale if he would vote for Obamacare if it allowed for federal funding of abortion, he stated that he would not. Yet, when presented with clear evidence (provided by several respected organizations) that this legislation did indeed provide for funding, he voted for it anyway and had the audacity to send out a press release stating the opposite:
"This bill also continues the longstanding ban on public funding for abortion, a factor that weighed heavily on my mind in recent days."
Yes, Tom Marino has some baggage ..., but when compared to the track record of Chris Carney and all the damage he has promoted, I see that my vote must be for Marino. Not only has Carney proven to be bad for this country, his re-election will be another vote for Pelosi and her ilk to continue their march towards more socialism and bigger government. Jerry Birmelin

Pennsylvania Tenth Congressional District- November 2, 2010 election- "Marino put Carney, 51, of Dimock Township, on the virtual witness stand Wednesday before an audience of 90 by forcefully asking him to defend his record, his votes for the health care reform bill, the stimulus package and hundreds of others that Marino said were in lockstep with Democratic Party leaders. He argued Carney’s votes went against the values and wishes of the 10th District." Article continues:Carney, Marino argue their cases before voters | The Abington Journal, Clarks Summit, PA:
Pennsylvania Governor's Race: Tom Corbett vs. Dan Onorato- Where do the candidates stand on abortion?
Tom Corbett, A Champion for Life
By Maureen Manzano
In the race for governor, sometimes silence speaks volumes.
Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania attorney general, and Republican
candidate for governor, has been a consistent pro-life advocate.
In a recent poll conducted by the PA Pro-Life Federation,
Corbett said he would support:
* Prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars to fund elective abortions .
* Legislation providing women with the opportunity to view an
ultrasound of their preborn child before an abortion.
*Banning the use of state tax dollars for research which
destroys human embryos .
* Funding of Pregnancy Counseling Centers which provide
alternatives to abortion and do not counsel or refer for abortions.
His opponent, Democrat Dan Onorato, who has claimed to be
“personally pro-life,” has refused to respond to questions regarding
the above issues, in the PA Pro-Life Federation questionnaire.
He has also been quoted as saying that “Even if Roe v. Wade is
overturned, I will veto any attempt to change Pennsylvania’s law.”
(That law would allow abortions for up to 24 weeks of pregnancy).
Mr. Corbett has lauded the work of pro-life groups across the
state, and has consistently worked to preserve restrictions on abortions
in the state of Pennsylvania. He also stood up to Planned Parenthood
by supporting New Hampshire’s abortion control act before the
U.S. Supreme Court. By doing so, he ultimately protected
Pennsylvania’s Abortion Control Act by helping to preserve
restrictions on abortion nationwide.
Both candidates have promoted their own proposals for
healthcare reform in the state Mr. Corbett as attorney general,
joined Pennsylvania with 19 other states to file a lawsuit to stop
what is now called Obamacare, the sweeping health care reform
legislation that includes funding for abortion and raises concerns
about health care rationing. The states believe that the healthcare
reforms are unconstitutional.
In August, a federal judge allowed the suit to continue. The
federal court hearing began last month. While the Obama
Administration believes that states have no legal standing to bring
legal action against the federal government, attorneys general
for the 20 states believe the federal government is exceeding its
Constitutional authority by its mandate that all citizens have
health insurance or face a fine. The federal government’s
argument has been that the “individual mandate” is actually a
tax. Only taxpayers can argue the legality of a tax, they contend,
and even then only after the assessments take effect in 2015.
The administration also will cite its constitutional authority to
regulate interstate commerce, along with its responsibility to
provide for the public’s general welfare. As for healthcare, Mr.
Onorato has outlined several proposals, and while it does not go
into great detail under “Women’s Health,” it states that he “supports
state funding for comprehensive family planning services.”

Where does Chris Carney stand on abortion?
Where does Chris Carney stand on abortion? Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of Americans United for Life Action wrote in a blog post "Chris Carney voted for the largest expansion of taxpayer-funded abortion in American history (that being Obama's health care bill) and has a clear 100 percent rating from two leading pro-abortion advocacy groups." 9/7/10 http://takeaction.aul.org/tag/chris-carney/
Rep. Carney is not pro-life according to Yoest, "Carney had a 100 percent rating" with the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL ProChoice America) in 2007 and Planned Parenthood in 2008. According to their mission statement, NARAL "uses the political process to guarantee….the full range of reproductive choices, including choosing legal abortion." Planned Parenthood performs more abortions nationwide than any other organization. Clearly these pro-abortion organizations endorsed Carney because his voting record has been favorable to abortion.
The National Right to Life Committee's Federal Legislation Scorecard notes Rep. Chris Carney voted AGAINST key pro-life legislation six times in the 110th Congress and for pro-life legislation only once for a dismal record of 14%. Don't be fooled, Chris Carney will not vote to defend the rights of unborn children.

Karen Cross, NRLC 's PAC director said Mr. Barletta is "very pro-life and very much against the Obama health care law." Mayor Lou Barletta said he was "proud to accept their endorsement."

Barletta said regarding health care legislation, "I will never support a program that results in rationing of life-saving procedures to those covered under those programs." Barletta also opposes the establishment of legal euthanasia and human cloning.

Joe Sestak Endorsed by National Abortion Rights Action League by Sue Cirba
How radical is Rep. Joe Sestak's record on abortion? Sestak is radical enough to have earned the endorsement of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) in all of his political campaigns, as well as contributions from them. According to their mission statement, NARAL "uses the political process to guarantee….the full range of reproductive choices, including … choosing legal abortion."
Sestak received NARAL's endorsement and a $5,000 campaign contribution in the PA primary against Arlen Specter according to a May 12 th press release by Nancy Keenan, NARAL's president. Sestak said he was "greatful" for NARAL's support.
Joe Sestak has been supported by the pro-abortion group NARAL consistently. In Sestak's "first successful campaign…NARAL...spent $232,000 on independent expenditures, including voter identification, polling, persuasion mail pieces…, and phone calls, reaching 86,000 households." according to Ms. Keenan's press release.
