>Dear Friends,

>

>Politics being what they are, a development has

>just arisen which will put The

>

>MOTHERS Act to a vote in the US Senate THIS WEEK. The bill will be

>

>introduced this Friday with an anticipated vote this Saturday.

>

>Here is the story in brief: the majority leader

>of the Senate, Harry Reid, has

>

>bundled up a large number of pending bills into

>one package (referred to as an

>

>'omnibus bill') and is seeking to get a vote on

>the whole package of bills under

>

>the name of the “Coburn Omnibus Bill” (that’s the unofficial name, officially

>

>the bill is known as the “Advancing America’s Priorities Act”).

>

>Even though the Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act is named for a

>

>woman who was put on a cocktail of mind altering psychiatric drugs and also

>

>electro-shocked BEFORE she took her life, and even though the bill has never

>

>been brought before the appropriate Senate committee for discussion and

>

>committee vote, this bill has been included, with others, in the packaged

>

>'Omnibus' bill.

>

>To bring the Coburn Omnibus bill to a vote on

>the Senate floor, the sponsors of

>

>the bill must invoke 'Cloture.'

>

>Cloture is a formal method of cutting off debate

>on a bill in the Senate and forcing

>

>a vote on it.

>

>To invoke cloture - to force a vote on the bill - 60 Senators must agree - 60

>

>Senators must vote yes to invoke cloture.

>

>We are opposed to a procedure that denies any

>discussion of a bill before it is

>

>voted on.

>

>But more importantly, we are opposed to The MOTHERS Act itself, which has

>

>been packaged with this larger bill. The reasons

>for this opposition are set forth at the

>

>following links:

>But in brief, it denies informed consent to the

>countless number of mothers (and

>

>their children) who will be placed on suicide and homicide-inducing

>

>antidepressants as a result of this legislation.

>

>Call your Senator's office and voice your opposition to the cloture vote.

>

>The message to your Senator's office should be

>clear and simple: tell them that

>

>you are opposed to cloture on the “Coburn Omnibus Bill” (or

>

>the Advancing America’s Priorities Act).

>

>That's the message.
