Important Questions to Ask Your Elected Officials at Town Hall Meetings – Obamacare

Obamacare:

1. The President has unilaterally declared that the employer mandate will be delayed for a year which protects businesses, as many as 10 other key elements of the law have been ended or delayed in some way, and now the President, Congress, and the Office of Personnel Management have extended special treatment for Members of Congress and their staffs. If this law isn’t ready for implementation, if it isn’t good enough for businesses, and now members of Congress – then it isn’t good enough for the American people. So are you willing to pledge not to vote for a Continuing Resolution that funds Obamacare?

2. Senator: Have you signed Mike Lee’s Letter to pledge to not vote for a Continuing Resolution that funds Obamacare?

a. If Yes: What are you doing to encourage your colleagues to sign on as well?

b. If No: Aren’t you against the implementation of Obamacare? If you vote to fund it, doesn’t that mean you are for it?

c. If No because they say they are a co-sponsor to Ted Cruz’s bill to defund Obamacare: Simply co-sponsoring Ted Cruz’s legislation isn’t good enough. Signing Mike Lee’s letter shows your commitment to defunding Obamacare. There’s no guarantee that Ted Cruz’s legislation will even gain a vote unless enough Republicans in the Senate do not sign onto Mike Lee’s letter.

3. Representative: Have you signed Mark Meadows’ Letter to pledge to not vote for a Continuing Resolution that funds Obamacare?

a. If Yes: What are you doing to encourage your colleagues to sign on as well?

b. If No: Aren’t you against the implementation of Obamacare? If you vote to fund it, doesn’t that mean you are for it?

c. If No because they say they are a co-sponsor to Tom Graves’ bill to defund Obamacare: Simply co-sponsoring Tom Graves’ legislation isn’t good enough. Signing Mark Meadows’ letter shows your commitment to defunding Obamacare. There’s no guarantee that Tom Graves’ legislation will even gain a vote unless enough Republicans in the House do not sign onto Mark Meadows’ letter.

4. Senator: Have you co-sponsored Ted Cruz’s legislation to defund Obamacare?

a. If Yes and if they have signed Mike Lee’s letter: What are you doing to encourage your colleagues to sign on? Obamacare is one of the greatest threats to our economy – you need to do everything in your power to convince others that this is the time to fight.

b. If Yes and they have not signed Mike Lee’s letter: Then why haven’t you signed Mike Lee’s letter? You do believe that Obamacare is bad, right? We need you to pledge not to fund it. That is the only way to protect the American people from the “train wreck coming down” as Senator Max Baucus described it.

c. If no: Don’t you believe that Obamacare is one of the greatest threats to our economy?

i.   If Yes: Then why aren’t you doing everything you can to fight on behalf of the American people? We want leaders who are willing to fight for what is right. If you don’t stand for the American people, you might as well stand for nothing.

ii.  If No: Then why has the employer mandated been unilaterally delayed by the President? Why are labor unions seeking exemptions from the law? Why is Congress getting subsidies to cover the vast majority of their health care expenses? If this law isn’t good for Big Business, Big Labor, or Big Government, then how can it be good for the American people?

5. Representative: Have you co-sponsored Tom Graves’ legislation to defund Obamacare?
