Wednesday
1. Omnibus Bill
Government funding is due to run out by Friday and Congress needs to pass an omnibus spending bill to avoid another shutdown. This bill will mark the biggest increase in federal spending in years. Let’s call our members of Congress today and encourage them to make this bill a good one. http://thehill.com/…/378862-congress-races-to-finish-12-tri…

Health Care:
The omnibus bill may include measures to stabilize the Affordable Care Act (good!) but Republicans want to attach a rule called the Hyde Amendment to it (bad!). The Hyde Amendment restricts federal money from being used to fund abortion. The GOP wants to expand that to prevent the government from providing money to any insurance plan that offers abortion coverage at all.
Republican also want to include a conscience protection clause that would protect health-care workers that have religious or moral objections to abortion.

Democrats have called for a repeal of the Dickey Amendment. This amendment passed in 1996, prevents the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from studying gun violence. This amendment needs to go!
