Another Virginia congressman -- Frank R. Wolfe -- joined in the effort to repeal ObamaCare. Please think him for helping fight this massive expansion of government power that will ultimately cost We the People much of our money and, more importantly, our liberty. The discharge petition now has 139 of the 218 congressman needed to [...]
You can glance out your window and see it coming: a tsunami of tax hikes set to overwhelm our shores in 2011. Americans for Tax Reform has detailed the staggering list here. Most Americans don’t seem to know they're about to be swept up in this, but they will soon as the tax cuts of [...]
You may have heard that Rep. Eric Cantor has decided to sign Rep. Steve King’s discharge petition to repeal ObamaCare. I’d like to say, “Great!”, but unfortunately, there may be reason to believe his true intentions are hidden and completely different from what he’s publicly stating. Erick Erickson from RedState offers his stark analysis of the [...]
Legislation to repeal ObamaCare was introduced in the House (H.R. 4972), but of course Nancy Pelosi won’t allow a vote, knowing it might actually pass now that the original bill didn’t gain the popularity those who voted for it promised it would. It’s actually gotten worse over time. But there’s a way around this she [...]
We’ve been tracking the meltdown of Greece and the European economy on this blog, which has all happened, of course, because of out of control government spending. And because our politicians are following the same path for America, all we have to do is look to Europe to see our future. We have just passed [...]
True conservatives are usually in the "smaller government is better government" camp. Having more and more people being employed directly by the government will only make it harder to improve that government, as those government employees will be hesitant to vote in a manner that will negatively affect them. For example, when sanity hopefully again regains [...]
What a fitting coincidence that the DVD version of Tim Burton’s "Alice in Wonderland" movie was released last week, and the Senate also passed that strange financial reform bill! Starting with the ObamaCare mess, and now with this most recent piece of ill-begotten legislation, I feel like Alice, fallen down a rabbit hole and into [...]
I know I’ve been reporting a lot lately on how bad the numbers keep getting for ObamaCare, but what can I do? Just when you think they can’t sink any lower, we hear that Support for repeal of the new national health care plan has jumped to its highest level ever. A new Rasmussen Reports [...]
This will come as no surprise to the RTP audience, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting on how we’re already seeing the beginnings of ObamaCare’s forcing the retraction of health care options for patients:
I should have included this link in my post two days ago about repeal, because it might have headed off a response challenging the validity of my assertion that the public supports repeal of the health care legislation. (That’ll teach me to rush through my posts when my 4-year-old is clamoring to play Wii with [...]
The following is a post from RTP board member Susan Lascolette. A patriot’s work is never done! Just because the gigantic overhaul of our health care system has been signed into law, many continue to fight against it. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has introduced a bill in the US House – HR 4309 – to repeal [...]
Not that this is surprise, but Republicans aren’t supporting total repeal of the health care legislation that will (by design) ultimately morph into a single payer government health care system, giving them more direct control over our lives than ever. The public overwhelmingly supports repeal, providing Republicans a clear issue to run and win huge on [...]
