> 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

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

>
> the Advancing America’s Priorities Act).

> That's the message.
