ForAmerica Chairman, L. Brent Bozell III Statement Responding To House Vote To Repeal ObamaCare; Warns Majority Leader Reid And Senate Democrats

July 11, 2012

BOZELL: “If Mr. Reid does not allow for a fair up or down vote on the House repeal bill, he will be putting Democrat control of the U.S. Senate in jeopardy.”

“The House of Representatives today lived up to its name by listening to the American people and overwhelmingly voted to repeal ObamaCare.  For over two years now, the American people have spoken consistently in opposition to ObamaCare and its massive tax increase, its crippling impact on our economy, and its trampling of each and every American’s individual rights.”

“The ball is now in Harry Reid’s court and the American people are demanding that there be a fair up or down vote in the Senate on the House repeal bill.  It is time for Mr. Reid to stop thwarting the democratic process and allow for a fair up or down vote with no amendments, no tabled motions, no more Washington funny business—just a fair, straight, up or down vote.  If Mr. Reid does not allow for a fair up or down vote on the House repeal bill, he will be putting Democrat control of the U.S. Senate in jeopardy.”

“ObamaCare is now THE issue in Congress and the over-riding issue in the 2012 campaign.  Every Senator up for reelection will be held accountable by his/her constituents if Majority Leader Reid fails to allow a fair vote in the Senate and if they fail to vote to overturn a law that has punishing consequences on the American people, freedom, and our national economy.”

“These Senators can’t hide either.  Any Senator who does not publicly fight to repeal ObamaCare, will be held responsible for this massive, crippling tax increase to pay for a law a majority of Americans don’t want.  They correctly view it as a major intrusion on our individual rights and a trampling of our Constitution.  ForAmerica and our 2.7 million members are organizing now and will be sure to educate constituents in key battleground states that these Senators are not representing them but simply acting as ObamaClones occupying a seat in the U.S. Senate.”
