H.R.3 No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act
I am writing as your constituent in the 2nd Congressional district of Maryland. I am writing as your constituent in the 2nd Congressional district of Maryland. I support H.R.3 - No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability. This bill has been assigned to the House Energy and Commerce - Health committee. This bill has been assigned to the House Judiciary committee. I believe this bill should be passed because I am responsible when dealing with intercourse. I would not jeopardize my future with an unplanned pregnancy. People who pay taxes should not have to pay taxes for something that they would never need because they are responsible for their actions. If someone neglects the negative consequences of becoming pregnant, they need to have the child, or pay for the abortion themselves. If you pass this bill, I will be more likely to vote for you because I will be assured that you agree with my views and beliefs.

Sincerely,
Michael Stidham

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
