ENDORSE THE LETTER DEMANDING CONGRESS
STOP OBAMACARE IMPLEMENTATION NOW!
UPDATE: With just days left in the existing Continuing Resolution, Speaker John Boehner is once again capitulating to the demands of Harry Reid & Barack Obama. Congress must be told in no uncertain terms – STOP OBAMACARE!
Reps. Michele Bachmann & Steve King are pressing Congress to do its' duty by stopping the UNCONSTITUTIONAL and BUDGET-BUSTING implementation of ObamaCare and revoking the $105.5 billion in "start- up" funds allocated by Nancy Pelosi's treacherous 111th Congress.
I am Ambassador Alan Keyes of the political action group, Patriot PAC, and I am asking for YOUR help to ensure Congress HEARS AND OBEYS the expressed Will of the People!

Rep. Steve King and Michele Bachmann are standing true to their oath of office and Constitutional conservative principles, and demanding Congress do its sworn duty — DEFUND OBAMACARE. Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, this has been an uphill battle, filled with resistance from old guard, "go along to get along" Republicans, who seem more afraid of Harry Reid's name calling, than of the Will and Constitutional Sovereignty of the People.
The fact is, ObamaCare has already been given $105,464,000,000.00 to begin UNCONSTITUTIONAL implementation. Unless that money is cut off now, irrevocably and unequivocally, ObamaCare will be here to stay.
Rep. King has already attempted to insert language into previous bills that would stop this funding. But every time, the old guard Republicans, (like Speaker Boehner), have thwarted the effort to retract the ObamaCare seed money. Rep. Michele Bachmann is to be commended for taking up the cause and bringing this issue more commandingly to the public eye. Now it is up to US to fully engage the fight and flood Congress with demands to STOP ALL OBAMACARE FUNDS NOW!
Below is a copy of the Bachmann/King letter. I strongly encourage you to join me in ENDORSING THIS LETTER, and faxing a copy to Congress with your signature alongside that of Rep. Steve King and Michele Bachmann. Congress must be told in no uncertain terms that we will not tolerate back door funding and implementation of the devious, destructive and grossly unconstitutional ObamaCare scheme.

Dear Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, and Chairman Rogers,
We very much appreciate your leadership in bringing H.R. 2 to the floor, which resulted in a unanimous Republican vote to repeal ObamaCare. This was an essential step in achieving our universal Republican goal to bring about the final, 100 percent repeal of this law. No strategy to accomplish this goal could succeed without this House vote.
From the moment legislation to repeal ObamaCare was first introduced, it has been widely discussed that a successful repeal strategy would center on first winning a Republican majority in the House, then holding a clean, up or down vote on repeal, and then prohibiting funding for the implementation or enforcement of ObamaCare. We must ensure that this strategy remains on track and on schedule.
The success of our effort to shut off funding for ObamaCare will hinge on the leverage points of this first session of the 112th Congress — namely the CR, which expires on March 18th, and the vote on raising the debt ceiling. We recognize the work to defund ObamaCare began with the inclusion of language in H.R. 1 to restrict annual appropriations from being used to implement the law. However, we also recognize that even this language, if enacted, leaves on the table $105.5 billion in automatically appropriated funds for the law's implementation. We cannot successfully defund ObamaCare without shutting off these automatically appropriated funds.
While some have argued that our defunding efforts in the CR should be limited only to those annual funds actually provided by the CR, we disagree. If we do not stand our ground on the CR, leverage it as the "must pass bill" that it is, and use it to stop the $105.5 billion in automatically appropriated funds, ObamaCare will be implemented on our watch. We will also have conceded a significant amount of ground on this issue and will find it difficult, if not impossible, to regain the strategic advantage in future legislative vehicles.
Consequently, we ask that the following language, or more effective language, be added to the FY11 CR to cut off both the annual and automatic appropriations for ObamaCare's implementation: "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the funds made available by this or any previous Act with respect to any fiscal year may be used to carry out the provisions of Public Law 111-148, Public Law 111-152, or any amendment made by either such Public Law."
It is essential that the above language be included in the CR. We, the undersigned, will not vote in support of a continuing resolution that is void of this crucial funding prohibition.
Sincerely,
Steve King Michele Bachmann
