Planned Parenthood Fundi

In a surprise move on Tuesday, a Senate committee voted to
remove all funding for Planned Parenthood from the state 
budget.  This move was made in response to lobbying from a
group opposed to Planned Parenthood's support of sex ed
in Georgia public schools.  The funding (approx $400,000)
represents about 20% of PP's budget.  The only way that this
funding can be restored is by the Senate - House conference that
is now considering the bill.

If you have an thoughts on this matter that you would like to 
share with the congressmen, I encourage you to call the following:

	Pierre Howard -- 656-5030
	Tom Murphy -- 656-5020

and the members of the conference committee:

	Sen Wayne Garner 656-5034
	Sen Pete Robinson 656-5135
	Sen Harrill Dawkins 656-0065
	Rep Terry Coleman 656-5052
	Rep Larry Walker 656-5024
 	Rep Tom Buck 656-5146

Thanks, -- Peggy

Well, I can think of better things the state can do with my money than give 
it to P.P.

Pee Pee on P.P.

Sen. Garner's office informed me today (thursday, 11:00 am) that funding
