Grays Harbor Republican Party Passes Resolution on Obamacare, Endorses Local and State Candidates

          The Central Committee of the Grays Harbor Republican Party passed the following Resolution on the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, at its July 10 meeting.  The vote was unanimous:

Resolution on Obamacare

Whereas the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare will kill jobs, bankrupt the nation, drive up health insurance costs, and put unelected bureaucrats in charge of rationing care;

Whereas Obamacare represents one of the single largest middle-class tax hikes in American history;

Whereas the Grays Harbor Republicans believe the greatest healthcare system in the world is best preserved by minimizing government control;

Whereas the Grays Harbor Republicans believe that citizens should have the ability to choose an affordable healthcare plan to meet their individual needs;

Whereas the Grays Harbor Republicans believe that this is accomplished with competition, fewer mandates, tort reform, health savings accounts, and eliminating fraud;

Whereas the Grays Harbor Republicans believe that physicians, healthcare providers, and healthcare organizations must retain the right to practice in a manner they believe is ethical and to exercise freedom of conscience;

Now, be it therefore resolved, that the Grays Harbor Republican Party calls for the immediate repeal of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 327 (1819)

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Patient Care and Affordability Act, commonly known as "Obamacare," has been called a "huge victory for the Obama Administration."  Well, anything that's a "huge victory" for Obama and Company is a huge loss for Americans who treasure their freedoms and religious liberty.  

In a case of supreme irony, the High Court's ruling that Obamacare is "constitutional" and the individual mandate is a tax on the American people comes less than a week before Americans celebrate our independence from British tyranny.  King George III would have been hard-pressed to match the effects of this decision, which should galvanize freedom-loving patriots into action.

As you may know, Florida federal District Judge C. Roger Vinson ruled the individual mandate unconstitutional in January.  He said, “Never before has Congress required that everyone buy a product from a private company (essentially for life) just for being alive and residing in the United States. If [the government] has the power to compel an otherwise passive individual into a transaction… it is not hyperbolic to suggest that Congress could do almost anything it wanted.”

I refuse to hand down a country to my children where unelected bureaucrats control their healthcare and Congress can do "almost anything" it wants.  

It's nineteen weeks to Election Day.  Let's roll! 

P.S.: We've just seen how nine unelected people in black robes can change the face of the nation with the stroke of a pen.  Remember, the president appoints to the U.S. Supreme Court bench.  If you don't vote for any other reason, vote for that one.
