Defund this Monster! The GOP’s Alamo for Obamacare

If only it could come to pass! m/r

PJ Media » The GOP’s Alamo for Obamacare

It appears that many right-wing Republicans are dead serious this time about defunding Obamacare. Utah Senator Mike Lee is circulating a letter [1]among his colleagues that would threaten a government shut-down unless all funding for Obamacare is removed from the continuing resolution that must be passed by September 30.
If Republicans in both houses simply refuse to vote for any continuing resolution that contains further funding for further enforcement of Obamacare, we can stop it. We can stop the individual mandate from going into effect.
Signers of the letter include the No. 2 and No. 3 Republican senators, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota, as well as Marco Rubio, who is desperately trying to get back in the good graces of the GOP base after the immigration-reform fiasco.
In the House, it’s North Carolina Representative Mark Meadows who is spearheading the defunding effort [2]:
We have 64 of my colleagues on this letter and we’re asking the leadership not to bring anything to the floor that has funding for ObamaCare in it.
Can it be done? Perhaps a more pertinent question is, should it be done?
