Under a cloudy Washington sky on Thursday, members of Congress joined
with conservative leaders and tea party groups to unite against
Obamacare.
Comparing Obamacare to the day’s weather, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
said, “Obamacare hangs over our heads like a cloud of uncertainty
because people don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring.”
The message from each speaker was clear:
Now is the best chance to stop Obamacare by defunding it before implementation takes root on October 1.
Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said elected leaders have an
obligation to protect Americans from the President’s unfair, unpopular
and unworkable health-care law.
“We’re standing for the people. I hope the President understands that
and eventually, if we stand strongly enough, comes around and starts
standing for the people instead of his party,” Gohmert said. “We owe
future generations better than they’re going to get with Obamacare.”
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) demanded that if the President refuses to
protect the American people from the health-care law, then it’s up to
Congress to use its power of the purse to prevent Obamacare from being
implemented.
“This debate is no longer about liberals vs. conservatives,” Lee
said. “This law is about Washington, D.C. vs. everyone else in the
United States.”
