Dear John,
Last week I asked you to sign a petition in support of several U.S. Senators who are demanding Planned Parenthood affiliates return federal coronavirus funds to the Small Business Administration (SBA). Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) is helping lead the charge against Planned Parenthood and said, “Under the statutory text of the CARES Act, organizations like these affiliates [such as Planned Parenthood] were expressly prohibited from receiving PPP funds.” If you haven’t signed the petition yet, I ask that you consider signing it now. If you’ve already signed it, will you forward this email and share it on social media with family and friends? Sign and share the petition to stand with these senators against Planned Parenthood. Lankford and other senators sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr urging him “to investigate the activities of dozens of Planned Parenthood affiliates that reportedly applied for and received approximately $80 million in loans from the Paycheck Protection Program, despite actual knowledge that they were ineligible for such loans.” Supporting these senators against Planned Parenthood is critical because 160 members of Congress are fighting for Planned Parenthood to keep your tax dollars. Reports indicate that the Small Business Administration (SBA) that dispersed the funds has already demanded Planned Parenthood affiliates return the money or face “severe penalties.”
Senators signing the letter urging Barr to investigate Planned Parenthood include: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), John Boozman (R-AR), Mike Braun (R-IN), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), John Cornyn (R-TX), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), John Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford (R-OK), Mike Lee (R-UT), Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), David Perdue (R-GA), Jim Risch (R-ID), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), John Thune (R-SD), and Todd Young (R-IN). Planned Parenthood Federation of America responded to the senators' demand for an investigation and claimed taxpayer funds actually helped it "continue to provide patients with essential, time-sensitive sexual and reproductive health care during this crisis." There's never an essential time for the federal government to send your money to abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood.
Sign and share the petition with your family and friends. Let's stand together with these senators and their demand for an investigation of Planned Parenthood defrauding the American taxpayer. |
