Last November, Americans spoke loudly at the polls, as voters threw out the Democrat majority and sent 63 new Republicans (2 short of my prediction) to Washington, which will bring about a Republican Majority in the House of Representatives. This new Congress will be sworn in tomorrow.
Smartly keeping their promise, first on their agenda is to repeal the Health Care Law. The bill has already been posted online and the vote is scheduled to take place next Wednesday. (Which just so happens to be Rush Limbaugh's birthday...I'm sure the left will have a field day with that.)
ObamaCare will make its way through the courts and will one day be argued before the Supreme Court, but the courts cannot and should not be relied upon as Campaign Finance Reform taught us. Americans want their leaders to lead and as I previously argued, stand by their principles and the principles of their constituency. It is for this reason, in the case of ObamaCare, the constituents of these newly elected freshmen will be closely following the moves of Congress, and as a result, the members of Congress must put their repeal intent in writing...and make the president put his veto in writing. So many campaign ads by the Republican running against Obama can be created as a result of that veto! If the repeal does not succeed this time around, the Republican Congress must have a strong resolve to keep moving forward, whether future repeal attempts or defunding measures. Standing by principles is a sign of honest and strong leadership and if these freshmen do not, voters will not support them in two more years.
