House votes to defund Obamacare


10 Days to Obamacare : If you have not yet signed the online petition Don’tFundIt, go here. You will receive an email to confirm that you intended to sign the petition. As of 3 pm on Fri., Sept. 20, there were over 1,545,000 signatures, and counting. We need to get this over 2 million. Sen. Cruz has said all along he needed to see a grassroots tsunami effort to get the Senate to listen to voters!!!



This just in from Marianne / Mansfield Tea Party:
The House just voted 230 to 189 to keep the government funded while stopping funding for Obamacare.
Now on to the Senate, where Harry Reid is sure to create a road block and ignore the will of the American people.
With the majority of Americans opposing Obamacare, will Harry Reid finally listen?
This is a critical moment and we need everyone making phone calls to Harry Reid to tell him to listen to the voice of the American people.
Call Harry Reid now and tell him that we will not rest until we stop Obamacare!
Harry Reid:  202 224-3542
While you're at it, call Senators Portman and Brown and tell them we also expect them to represent the will of their Constituents, and support this CR that continues to fund the Government, while defunding Obamacare. 
Senator Portman - 
Columbus:  800 205-6446
DC:              202 224-3353

Senator Brown - 
Cleveland:   888 896-6446
DC:               202 224-2315
################################
Don't forget to say Thank You.
Please make calls to your Congressmen and thank them for voting "yes" on the CR. We know the pressure will be even more intense over the next week, and they need to keep standing strong. Let them know you are there to help them stand strong.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way
From the start, it was Boehner and his Boehnerettes that were not supporting the CR that defunds Obamacare.  Could Boehner have been so willing "changed his mind" because he knows what Harry Reid has up his sleeve? Click Here to Read More.
It is very possible, even likely, that the Senate will send the CR back to the House, stripped of its defunding language.  It is the Senate who will refuse to fund the government, because they will be stripped of the special favors they receive over the rest of the taxpaying public.
The House needs to stay strong on their position.  It is the Senate's lack of ability to produce a budget that has put us in this position, and Boehner and his Boehnerettes have allowed it to happen.
It's time to say "No More!" 
Here are Speaker Boehner's details:

And if you've been hearing some members of the GOP (like Pete King) trash Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for their efforts, here's Andrew McCarthy's take on it:
For spearheading the move to defund the (Not Remotely) Affordable Care Act, intrepid Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) have been scalded by the usual ruling class crowd of GOP establishment leaders and Obama administration officials. Yet public resistance to a law the public has never liked – and about which the public grows increasingly anxious as its deleterious consequences and exploding costs begin to materialize – has forced leadership’s hand even as it demonstrates, yet again, the divide between the Beltway and the country.
