Again ... HR 4995 seeks to REPEAL Obamacare yet has only 25 of these 'gung ho' republicans co-sponsoring. They should shove it to the Senate and FORCE the Senate Democrats to pass it or be on record in opposition. If they can get it through the Senate, they should FORCE Obama to veto it. Yet we instead get the same business as usual nonsensical excuses.
THEN there is the abysmal track record for Republicans matching their rhetoric with action.
Furthermore, it was Heritage and Newt who were pushing this crap (at the Federal level) BEFORE Mittens gave it to Mass.
Have you NOT learned *anything*?
My guess is that the Supremes will eliminate PART of PPACA, but it will be declared wholly a 'success' by Republicans .... and yet the REMAINDER will remain .. untouched.
THAT way, the Rs will not have to 'repeal it all' (which they clearly have no interest as measured by their action) and we can continue down the path we have been travelling for DECADES.

"Just in Case You Are Taking the Republicans Seriously . . . like, when they say we need to repeal Obamacare because it is socialism. Remember that Social Security, Medicare, and public education are three of the greatest socialist schemes on the planet. When Republicans say that they too need to be eliminated because they are socialism then we can begin to take them seriously." -- Laurence Vance

Every one of the Republican candidates, including Ron Paul, have all sworn to attempt to repeal ObamaCare if they were elected, including Romney. I might add that this is the big distinction. It's one thing for a State to pass a health insurance plan, and quite another for the Federal Government to mandate that every citizen must purchase health care insurance, or be fined, and then, once the fine has increased after three or four years, and you will not be able to purchase from a health care providing insurance company, but instead have to purcahse from the Federal Government, I'd say that this is pretty much a disasterous ruse upon the American populace.

- How many co-signed the Legislation seeking to simply REPEAL (HR 4995) it? 25 Wow, such dedication!

- I don't think ObamaCare can pass muster with the Supremes, and Romney has promised to repeal ObamaCare. There is way too much opposition in this Nation for ObamaCare to stand as Michael and Mark have suggested.

- Provided Our Robe Masters do not do the appropriate/constitutional thing and eliminate PPACA ... AND given the same scenario .... watch for Obamacare to merely be 'fine tuned' with a stamped "R" on it -- ostensibly remaining the same with the faithful whooping it up as though it were otherwise.
- My hope is that (soon) Boobus Americanus will remove the blinders and recognize the obvious. One would think that several decades of examples would provide the necessary basis.

NONE of the Obama executive orders will be done away with.. the Republicans will like them the same as the Dems do. There will be NO major policy changes other than (possibly) Obamacare.

- Senate Republicans Vote Down The Buffet Tax Rule, Vote Them Out of Office!
- BREAKING: Buffett Rule fails in Senate
- Take back Congress from the 1%
- Donate now so we can take back Congress for the 99%.
- Today in a close vote, the Senate failed to pass the Buffett Rule, a
- groundbreaking piece of legislation that would have made millionaires
- and billionaires pay their fair share. So while the middle and working
- class will be paying their fair share in taxes on Tax Day tomorrow,
- many of the 1% will not.
- The GOP obstructionists voted against the Buffett Rule, just like they
- voted for the Medicare-killing Ryan budget. They're basically Robin
- Hood in reverse - robbing from the 99% to give ever more lavish tax
- breaks to the rich.
- The majority of the country wants the Buffett Rule but they just
- ignored us. They can't be changed, they can only be defeated.
- So we've got a plan to defeat these right-wing zealots by registering
- and turning out progressive voters this fall in key states and
- congressional districts. Will you donate $5 right now to help us take
- back Congress from the 1%?
- With your help, we'll be working in:
- • 8 of the 12 states key in deciding the presidential election;
- • Nearly half of the Congressional seats needed to win the majority
- in the U.S. House, including some of the most progressive candidates
- in the country like Ann McLane Kuster (NH-2);
- • 7 key U.S. Senate races, including 2 of the top progressive
- Senate candidates – Sherrod Brown in Ohio and Tammy Baldwin in
- Wisconsin. And with Sen. Olympia Snowe stepping down, we have an
- opportunity to pick up an additional Senate seat in Maine!
- • 2 of the most competitive Governors' race in the country (NH and WV);
- • 1 of the most important ballot initiatives in the country
- (overturn Ohio's anti-voting rights law H.B. 194);
- • 9 states with key state legislative races that could determine
- control of a legislative body or deny a right-wing supermajority;
- These are all states where USAction and our affiliates have been
- long-time leaders waging issue campaigns, building coalitions and
- creating a progressive infrastructure, and where we will continue to
- do so long after Election Day. The core of the 2012 plan is based on
- two paid organizers in each congressional district recruiting 400
- volunteers and coordinating a 4-month volunteer canvass that can build
- our base by contacting at least 7,500 voters that support us and
- getting them to vote.
- To be successful, however, we need to start these volunteer canvasses
- by May 15th - that's just 1 month away! Your donation of $5 today can
- help us fund these organizers and their outreach, and make the
- difference in November. Then next year we can pass a Buffett Rule, and
- bring sanity back to our government.
- We need a Congress that works of, by and for the people — not just the
- 1%. Donate $5 now so we can take back Congress for the 99%.
- Thank you for all you do,
