Citizen Petition To Repeal And Fully Defund ObamaCare

“$105 Billion in Automatic Funding Embedded In Law!
Citizen Petition To Repeal And Fully Defund ObamaCare

Petition Sponsor: Grassfire Nation
Over 95,000 signers

The Issue

Thanks to Nancy Pelosi, more than $105 billion in taxpayer funds are automatically appropriated to implement ObamaCare. Unless Congress takes action to actively stop this funding, ObamaCare will be implemented.

The key debate over ObamaCare funding right now centers on the Continuing Resolutions (CR) to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year. Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) are spearheading an effort to oppose any CR that fails to strip out the automatic $105 billion in ObamaCare spending that Nancy Pelosi wrote into the law. ‘We cannot successfully defund ObamaCare without shutting off these automatically appropriated funds,’ said King.

The Action

In response to the declared wishes of our grassroots network, Grassfire Nation has launched this petition to give citizens an opportunity to voice their opinion on the effort to defund and repeal ObamaCare. As part of our commitment to our team, Grassfire Nation will hand deliver your petition to key members of both the House and Senate at pivotal points in the unfolding healthcare debate.

Petitions are being delivered to EVERY Senate office prior to the expected Senate vote on Thursday (April 14) to defund ObamaCare. Additional petition deliveries are anticipated. Please continue alerting friends and family to take action with you by signing below.

The Petition States:

As a concerned citizen, I am signing this petition to show my support for the repeal and dismantling of the 2010 health care reform law (The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act). I ardently oppose any government interference in my personal and private health care decisions. ObamaCare is an affront to the ideals and values outlined in the U.S. Constitution. I also urge Congress to defund all aspects of the ObamaCare legislation until it is purged from our laws.”

Note: After the “petition” is signed the site asks for money to send FAXs to the Senators. I didn’t.
