is NOT an unalienable right

In March Obama and the Democrats passed ObamaCare, many congressmen voted against this bill including many of the legislators from Pennsylvania.

But was voting against the bill enough? One month ago Steve King of Iowa filed a petition to force a vote to repeal ObamaCare. Contact your Congressman and ask them to sign this petition.

June 16, 2010 – To the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

Joe Pitts, Todd Platts and GT Thompson voted against ObamaCare and have taken a stand and signed King’s petition to repeal ObamaCare.

Democrats Jason Altmire and Tim Holden who voted against the bill have not said they would vote for repeal. Were they voting to save their seats or voting because they believed the bill was wrong.

It’s time to put up or shut up, you can’t be against something one minute and not against it when it more beneficial.
