True Conservatives are leading-the-charge, exemplified by efforts of Heritage Action. http://heritageaction.com/press-releases/heritage-action-opposes-defund-gimmick/ Washington Today, House leaders announced a legislative gimmick to avoid defunding ObamaCare. Heritage Action released the following statement from chief executive officer Michael A. Needham: This is a legislative gimmick designed to provide political cover to those who are unwilling to fight to defund ObamaCare. Any constituent who looks at this vote will know it is intended to look like a vote to defund ObamaCare while failing to do so. The American people are tired of gimmicks, and it is our expectation that no conservative in Congress will try to deceive their constituents by going along with this cynical ploy. If the House Rules Committee reports a rule that allows for the simultaneous consideration of a continuing resolution and an H.Con.Res that provides the Senate an escape hatch to fund ObamaCare, Heritage Action will key vote against the rule. Please call these members today and urge them to do EVERYTHING in their power to stop funding for ObamaCare. Tell them to vote against the rule. It does not matter if you're not from their states. They need to know that people across the country are counting on them to stop ObamaCare.
