This third ObamaCare-themed Blast is a bit more acerbic than its predecessors.

If the first functioned emotionally and the second acted viscerally, this third perspective is perhaps more spiritually-oriented [although this physician generally doesnt broadcast views in this fashion]. This is an emergency for, quoting Senator Ted Cruz, its necessary to trigger a Tsunami of support outside the beltway

Guzzardi has summarized the situation and focused the task in a recent blast e-mail, asking that the member be asked to co-sponsor HR 2682, which to be amended to the Continuing Resolution to defund ObamaCare. A benign conflict has arisen, for he prefers If you fund it, youre for it due to alliteration, whereas this physician prefers If you fund it, you own it due to the need to heighten the intensity. Notwithstanding the rhetorical sparring, it is agreed that HR 2682, the Defund ObamaCare Act of 2013 must be viewed as the key (and the last-chance!) to stopping the A.C.A. from going into effect in 2014. H.R.2682 Latest Title: Defund Obamacare Act of 2013 Sponsor: Rep Graves, Tom [GA-14] (introduced 7/11/2013) Cosponsors (138) Related Bills: S.1292 Latest Major Action: 7/15/2013 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee Indian and Alaska Native Affairs.

Guzzardi has distilled the action-items into three-steps: co-sponsor H.R. 2682, support the Defunding Amendment to the CR Vote, and vote NAY if the CR funds ObamaCare. He has also carefully tracked each R-member of the PA-Delegation, and he notes the ability to check-out three major Internet websites [Heritage Action, FreedomWorks, and Tea Party Patriots] plus the site of NetRightDaily [http://netrightdaily.com/2013/08/tell-the-house-to-defund-obamacare/#ixzz2cuwtPbPI]. He also notes this terse elaborative information:
Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens has issued the following statement urging the House of Representatives to attach H.R. 2682, the Defund Obamacare Act of 2013 to the upcoming continuing resolution due on Sept. 30:

The House has the power to stop ObamaCare before 2014 by passing budgets that fund all essential items except the health care law. If the Senate and Obama refuse to fund the rest of the government, it is they who will be shutting it down. Not only should members cosponsor the Defund ObamaCare Act, they must insist that it be attached to an upcoming vote on the continuing resolution. This is the last opportunity to defund this law before the individual mandate goes into effect, before the Medicaid expansion kicks in and before the state insurance exchange subsidies ensue. Otherwise, the health care law will go into effect and it will become permanent.
