Fellow Conservatives:
We want to thank you for working so hard to stop Obamacare.
Thanks to your support, more than
2 million
Americans have now signed the petition to defund Obamacare. You have
forced Americans to pay attention to the effects of this horrible law
and you have forced many politicians in Washington to stand up and fight
it.
Unfortunately, Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has made winning virtually impossible.
McConnell has consistently worked to sabotage the effort to defund
Obamacare. He pressured senators to withdraw their support, he falsely
accused conservatives of wanting a government shutdown, and he voted to
give the Democrats the power to fund Obamacare.
Now Mitch McConnell is working with the Democrats on a plan to fund Obamacare and raise the debt limit
Not only will his plan force Americans to pay for a law they oppose, it will force them to borrow more money to do it.
Conservatives tried to convince Mitch McConnell to join the fight, but
he refused. Thousands of people in Kentucky asked him to use his
leadership position to protect them from Obamacare, but he didn’t
listen.
Now Mitch McConnell is negotiating the Republican surrender and he has
no leverage because he signaled early on that he would do anything to
avoid a shutdown. He gave
Harry Reid (D-NV) a blank check and now the Democrats can demand whatever they want.
Mitchn McConnell has left his party powerless
He
gave up the fight on Obamacare and forced many of his Republican
colleagues to adopt the untenable position that all government programs
must be funded if they are part of current law. He’s taken away his
party's constitutional right to protect Americans from having to pay for
bad programs.
Republicans no longer have a say because Mitch McConnell won’t let them take a stand. He's made them Republicans in name only.
There’s still a chance that McConnell will realize his mistake and insist that Obamacare be defunded, but it's not likely.
He would rather concede to the Democrats than fight them. He would rather fund Obamacare than admit conservatives were right.
Thankfully,there are a few leaders in the Senate who stand on principle when it matters.Now we need to elect more of them.
