Dear Pro-Life Friends:

I have just been in contact with Rep. Mary Ann Hanusa.The discharge petition has gained the required 26 signatures.It was presented with high drama to Mike Gronstal on the floor of the Senate by good Sen. Smith from Davenport.According to Rep. Hanusa, Sen. Smith asked Mike Gronstal three times if Mike Gronstal would allow the bill to go to the floor for debate: she said Sen. Smith asked Mike Gronstal three times for a yes or no.Mary Ann Hanusa indicated MIKE GRONSTAL READ THREE TIMES FROM A PREPARED STATEMENT, WHICH IS AMBIGUOUS WITH RESPECT TO ANSWERING THE YES OR NO QUESTION, REPEATED THREE TIMES BY SEN. SMITH.AT THIS JUNCTURE, IT APPEARS THAT MIKE GRONSTAL IS REFUSING TO ANSWER THE DIRECT QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL COMMIT TO ALLOWING THE BILL TO GO TO THE FLOOR FOR DEBATE!!! This bill is eligible for debate this Thursday.

TELL SEN. MAJORITY LEADER MIKE GRONSTAL TO BE CONSISITENT WITH WHAT HE HAS SAID JUST DAYS AGO: Council Bluffs Nonpareil, Friday, April 29, 2011:“When a bill is filed, it becomes eligible to be placed on the Senate’s calendar, he said. Then, it’s up to the Senate floor manager to approach him when it would be ready for debate”, Gronstal said. “I have said I would not block debate on this,” Gronstal said of the ban.

This is in Majority Leader Sen. Mike Gronstal’s hands. We beg you, all hands on deck: MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL AND E-MAIL SEN. MIKE GRONSTALL NOW!!! TELL SEN. MIKE GRONSTAL TO BRING HF 657 TO THE SENATE FLOOR FOR VOTE!!!
