YouTube: King Pledge To Oppose Obamacare Funding

Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA) are two of the leading congressional proponents of the Tea Party movement.  They have taken a pledge and are asking all other House members to join them in it.

The pledge is simple: The member vows to vote “no” on any continuing resolution that permits any funding for the implementation of Obamacare.

YouTube King Calls On Members to Pledge to Oppose Any CR Funding Obamacare:

Bachmann and King sent a letter last Thursday to House Speaker John Boehner (R.-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R.-KY) asking them to include language completely defunding Obamacare in any new continuing resolution (CR).

The House Republican leadership introduced a new short-term CR that does not include the language King and Bachmann are seeking. In fact, the Republican leadership’s CR would not defund any part of Obamacare. (This new CR would take effect when the current CR expires on March 18 and would keep the government funded for only an additional three weeks beyond that date.)

King and Bachmann released a statement asking their House colleagues to join them in signing the letter and in pledging to vote against any CR that allows the Obama administration to spend any money to implement any part of Obamacare.

“I have written a letter and signed it, and Michele Bachmann has signed it, that takes the pledge—it’s actually a pledge,” King told CNSNews.com. “It’s posted on her website and on mine, and our Facebooks, asking members to go to that site and sign the letter that says they will vote no on any CR that doesn’t cut off the automatic spending and all the funding to Obamacare.”

"All members of Congress are encouraged to contact my office to join us in the effort to prevent taxpayers’ money from going to the implementation of this unconstitutional program," Bachmann said in a statement posted on her website on Friday.

It is time for Republicans to stand up for America.  The House Republicans have done more than their share to keep the government running.  If the Senate won’t pass a bill that defunds Obamacare or Barack Obama won’t sign it then the closing of government is on the Democrats.
