oped: Note Update: The Cruz Obamacare Amendment failed 45-52. However, the fight is far from over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by
Today Texas Senator Ted Cruz offered an amendment to the Budget Resolution that would’ve repealed Obamacare entirely. Unfortunately, amendment 202 failed 45-52.
Conservative Action Alerts sent out an early morning alert today after obtaining a copy of the Cruz amendment.
In addition to his Obamacare Repeal Amendment, Sen. Cruz also filed nine other amendments to the budget which include:
Amendment to Repeal Obamacare – This amendment would provide for the repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and encourage patient-centered reforms to improve health outcomes and reduce health care costs, promoting economic growth.
Amendment to Prohibit Drone Killings of U.S. Citizens Absent an Imminent Threat – This amendment would prohibit using drones to kill U.S. citizens in the United States unless they present an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to another individual.
Amendment to Eliminate Corporate Welfare – This amendment would provide for the elimination of corporate welfare.
Amendment to Provide Scholarships for School Choice – This amendment would allow for legislation related to school choice, which may include providing a portion of Department of Education funding to the states to allow for scholarships to low-income students, Kindergarten to 12th grade, to use at either a public or private school.
Amendment to Limit Federal Ownership of State Lands – This amendment would prevent the federal government from owning more than 50 percent of the land in any state.
Amendment to Redirect Egypt Foreign Aid to U.S. Missile Defense – This amendment would provide for reducing foreign assistance to Egypt and increasing funding for the Missile Defense Agency to establish a land-based missile defense capability on the U.S. East Coast.
Amendment to Provide Private Right of Action to Challenge Costly Regulations – This amendment would allow private entities to legally challenge federal regulations that impose costs significantly exceed the benefits.
Amendment to Prohibit Millionaires from Receiving Welfare – This amendment would prohibit millionaires from being eligible to receive any means-tested welfare payments.
“Bloomberg Big Gulp Amendment” to Prevent Food and Beverage Size and Quantity Regulations – This amendment would prohibit federal regulation of the size and quantity of food and beverages.
Amendment to Restore Labor Regulation to the States – This amendment would provide the restoration of federalism in regard to the regulation of labor relations by providing that it is the sole right of states to regulate labor relations.
Senator Ted Cruz is taking a stand on capitol hill while others are selling-out Americans and their freedom.
