Dear Craig,
The unthinkable is happening today in Washington, and we urgently need your action.
As I write this, Representative John Boehner is caving to extremists in Congress and preparing to shut down the federal government because of their outdated and outrageous ideology, devastating the daily lives of millions of Americans. They will not rest until they have closed every single Planned Parenthood health center in the country, no matter the consequences.
Craig, it is essential that we stand together and stand strong in stopping them today. We urgently need your action right now. Add your name to this letter we are sending Representative Boehner and his extreme colleagues today — and then you must share it far and wide. Please do it now — we don't have a single moment to waste.

AN OPEN LETTER TO REPRESENTATIVE BOEHNER AND HIS EXTREMIST COLLEAGUES IN CONGRESS:
|
|
Your willingness to shut down the federal government and devastate the daily lives of millions of Americans because of your vendetta against Planned Parenthood is utterly despicable.
And it is absolutely clear that your actions have never been about reducing government spending. They have always been about your vendetta against Planned Parenthood. I know it; you know it; and so do millions of Americans. We stand together to stop you, and we will not back down.
We are teachers and students, mothers and fathers, Republicans and Democrats, lawyers, doctors, and manual laborers, women and men. We know that the health care Planned Parenthood provides to screen for cancer, test for HIV, prescribe birth control, and empower and educate women, men, and teens is essential. We are millions strong — and growing.
The hardships a government shutdown will create are unacceptable, and we implore you to stop.

If you have ever found care at a Planned Parenthood health center… if you care about women's health… if you are unwilling to see millions of people suffer because of an extreme political agenda... sign this letter.
I know that we've asked a lot of you during the past few months, and every time you've come through. Thank you in advance for doing so again today. We cannot let this vengeful, narrow-minded assault on Planned Parenthood and the people we serve continue. If we fail, millions of women could pay a terrible price. Sign the letter right now.
Thank you, once again, for standing with us now to stop Representative John Boehner and his extremist colleagues.

Cecile Richards, President
