Stop Obamacare in its tracks!!

Dear friend of America’s future,

RenewAmerica is proud to announce its support for a new website dedicated to defunding Obamacare, DefundDerailObamacare.com, which we are promoting at RenewAmerica.com.

The site is sponsored by our friends at Americans United for Freedom.

Like similar websites, DefundDerailObamacare.com features a PETITION citizens can sign demanding both houses of Congress refuse to fund Obamacare when the matter comes up for a vote later this month in connection with a Continuing Resolution. (Note: The petition feature has been improved to make signing easier.)

But unlike other defund Obamacare sites, the AUF project offers a unique FAX feature that enables busy citizens to FAX a copy of the site’s carefully-crafted petition to all 535 congressmen and senators for a modest donation. Sending such a FAX can be highly effective.

The premise of the petition is that Republicans who cave to pressure from Obamacare defenders and vote to provide tax dollars for this draconian measure “own it because they’ve funded it” – no matter any claims they might make to the contrary.

When the Continuing Resolution comes up for a vote in the House and Senate in a few weeks, Republicans of both chambers who profess opposition to Obamacare MUST VOTE TO DEFUND it if they are serious. If they fail to do so, their opposition is feigned, and their feckless excuses are but empty words.

We further wish to declare that specious claims by Democrat and Republican leaders alike that conservatives who insist on defunding Obamacare are threatening to “shut down the government” are demonstrably false. If President Obama chooses to shut down the government rather than accept a Continuing Resolution that omits funding for Obamacare, he alone will be responsible for that decision – not opponents of his devastating and destructive “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”

It’s his choice, and his consequence. That is the position of RenewAmerica and Americans United for Freedom.

The time for timid, pragmatic calculations is past. Our elected representatives and senators NEED TO ACT if our nation is to have a future of fundamental liberty.

As Sen. Ted Cruz said two weeks ago on CNN, “Now is the single best time to stop Obamacare. If it doesn’t happen now, it’s never going to happen.”

We agree, and urge all thinking Americans to get behind this historic effort by pressuring their senators and congressmen to DEFUND OBAMACARE NOW!
