Sen. Bill Nelson tells the Buzz he has called three White House officials to express disapproval with the controversial new contraception rule affecting religious groups.
"My position is that church affiliated organizations should be exempt, not just churches," Nelson said.
He joins an emerging group of Democrats who are opposing President Obama on the contentious issue. Republicans are hammering away at Obama and there are signs of retreat.
