UPDATE: Thanks to Senator Ted Cruz for fighting to Defund ObamaCare. See how your Senator voted.
March 11, 2013
This week, the Senate will be debating the Continuing Resolution (H.R. 933) passed by the House of Representatives last week. Unfortunately, despite an attempt by House conservatives Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Jim Bridenstine of Oklahoma, to add an amendment to defund the aspects of ObamaCare that are funded by discretionary spending, as passed the House bill continues to fund all aspects of ObamaCare at current levels.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas will offer an amendment on the Senate side that defunds discretionary ObamaCare spending (which is all the Continuing Resolution governs).
We are hearing from our colleagues on Capitol Hill that the cries to defund ObamaCare have died down, and liberal legislators are translating that silence as support for ObamaCare. We must let them know that the grassroots still want ObamaCare overturned. It is still possible, we just have to keep fighting at every turn.
Take Action
We need you to take a moment to call your Senators, whether they are liberal or conservative, and tell them to vote for Senator Cruz’s amendment to defund ObamaCare in the Continuing Resolution. Even if you think your Senators would never vote for such an amendment, they need to hear from their constituents who oppose ObamaCare!
Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121
Please Defund ObamaCare in CR!
ObamaCare is bad law that is already raising our health care premiums.
We urge you to defund every aspect of ObamaCare.
Please vote YES on Senator Cruz’s amendment to the current Continuing Resolution, which defunds all discretionary spending on ObamaCare.
We are counting on you to protect our right to make our own health care decisions.
We are counting on you to protect us from the massive government spending and bureaucracy ObamaCare is creating.
We are counting on you to protect us from taxpayer-funded abortion.
We are counting on you to protect us from having our tax dollars used to fund death panels and facilities where medical professionals’ freedom of conscience is not protected.
Americans want real reform, not more government control and expense.
