Voters Demand Change: Repeal ObamaCare

The voters spoke out loud and clear - a dramatic shift in Washington - in Congress.  In my view, voters sent the Obama Administration a powerful message - rejecting the President's agenda while signaling a need to repeal the health care law that most Americans oppose.

The outcome of this election underscores the fact that most Americans don't believe this country is on the right track and want a change from President Obama's failed policies of the past two years.  In addition to jobs and taxes, voters sent a powerful message about ObamaCare, the government-run, pro-abortion health care law forced on the American people.

This election was fueled by voters who were concerned less about party labels and more about troubled policies. 

Most Americans have said they want ObamaCare repealed.  And, now with a sweeping change in Congress, it's time to do just that.

We have started a nationwide petition campaign to demand that the new Congress repeal ObamaCare.  We already have heard from tens of thousands of you during the health care debate.  Now, it's time to turn up the heat - we need to hear from thousands of constitutional conservatives and others who certainly want health care reform - but believe that ObamaCare is not the reform that America needs or deserves.

As you know, we're engaged in this battle from a legal standpoint as well.  We're challenging the constitutionality of the federal health care law in federal district court in Washington, D.C. where we have filed a lawsuit representing five taxpayers bringing a direct challenge to the individual mandate provision of the law.

We're also supporting other legal efforts challenging ObamaCare and have filed an amicus brief representing 28 members of Congress and more than 70,000 Americans backing Virginia's suit.

While the legal challenges are moving forward, the fact is with the outcome of this election - along with growing opposition to ObamaCare - this is the perfect time to act legislatively and repeal the health care law.

That's why we have started a nationwide petition campaign to repeal the health care law.  This is the time for you to act.  You can add your name to our Petition to Repeal ObamaCare here.

I've also written an opinion editorial on this issue which is posted on The Hill's Congress Blog.  You can read that here.  And, Jordan has written a blog posting on what this election meant for the participation of Christian conservatives.  That is posted on the Washington Post's On Faith site, which is located here.
