SEPTEMBER 11, 2013

Pretending to defund Obamacare is not the same as defunding it

FAIRFAX, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens issued the following statement urging members of the House of Representatives to defeat a continuing resolution that reportedly will fail to defund Obamacare:

"This is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. Separately passing a defunding Obamacare measure not tied to the continuing resolution that can simply be decoupled by the Senate is a useless gesture that does not merit serious consideration. Whoever votes for such a continuing resolution will be voting to fund Obamacare. This is nothing more than a trick by House leadership to pretend to defund Obamacare without actually doing so."
