Cleveland Tea Party : Action Alert: Speaker Boehner & House Need to "Go Big" or "Go Home" on Defunding Obamacare

Patriots, the fight to defund Obamacare is here and now!

In the U.S. Senate, Senator Mike Lee, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are doing their job and have been leading the charge in the effort to defund Obamacare in any Continuing Resolution talks with the 'Don't Fund It' campaign. To sign the 'Don't Fund It' petition and for contact information on which GOP Senators REFUSE to support this initiative, click here.

To date, Senator Rob Portman has refused to support the Don't Fund It Campaign (Click here for more).

In the GOP led House, under Speaker John Boehner's leadership, one would think, that after every single GOP member campaigned against Obamacare to get elected or reelected and to raise campaign donations, they would be overwhelmingly in support of defunding Obamacare.

Sadly this is not the case!

In response to the Defunding of Obamacare through any Continuing Resolution effort of Rep. Mark Meadows that is being supported by the conservative contingent in the House, Speaker Boehner & Rep. Eric Cantor are trying to undermine this effort....

Majority Leader Eric Cantor is trying to thread the needle with a proposal for the continuing-resolution bill that would force the House and the Senate to vote on defunding Obamacare but not make that a requirement for funding the government going forward.

But the plan is already coming under fire by House conservatives who object that it will not use the threat of a government shutdown as leverage to force Democrats to buckle and stop funding the health-care law.

Under the Cantor plan, the House would vote on two measures, the CR and a resolution that amends the CR to defund Obamacare. Both measures would be brought under a rule that allows the Senate to send just the clean CR to the president, but only after they first vote on whether to defund Obamacare. If the Senate voted against defunding Obamacare, they could then pass the clean CR.

Patriots -- it is time for the games in D.C. to stop! It is time for Speaker Boehner and the GOP Congressman to do their job!

It is time for Speaker Boehner & the GOP to

Go Big or Go Home!

Liberty groups across the country are hammering away on the GOP Congressmen in their respective states to do the job they were elected to do -- stop Obamacare! Here in Ohio, we must continue to do our part!

In the 2010 election we elected 5 new GOP Congressmen from Ohio -- to date they have failed to do their job and have refused to sign on with Rep. Meadows efforts to defund Obamacare in any Continuing Resolution talks.

To date, only 3 of the 12 GOP Congressman from Ohio that campaigned against Obamacare are supporting the "real" effort to defund Obamacare in any Continuing Resolution talks.

Passion to Action

Rep. Chabot, Rep. Wenstrup & Rep. Jordan are the only GOP Congressmen from Ohio that signed Rep. Meadows letter to defund Obamacare in any Continuing Resolution talks.

Please take the following actions

Contact Rep Chabot, Wenstrup & Jordan for standing strong against Obamacare.

Contact the remaining GOP Congressman from Ohio and tell them to do the job they were elected to do. Tell them we want them to support Rep. Meadows effort to defund Obamacare and ask when they will be signing the letter.

Tell them we DO NOT support the duplicitous tactics of Majority Leader Cantor & Speaker Boehner to undermine the effort to defund Obamacare in Continuing Resolution talks.

Tell them to support the legislation being introduced today by Congressman DeSantis & Senator Vitter to eliminate the Obamacare Exemptions for Washington.
