Citizens United Reaches Out To Members Of Congress

Citizens United President David Bossie sent the following letter to all members of the House of Representatives urging them to repeal Obamacare and notifying them that the vote will be scored in Citizens United’s 2011 Congressional Rankings:

Dear Member of Congress,

On behalf of over 500,000 members and supporters of Citizens United, I urge you to support H.R. 2, the Repealing the Job-Crushing Health Care Law Act. At a time when our nation is drowning in $14,000,000,000,000 of debt, America simply cannot afford this multi-trillion dollar entitlement program.

On March 21, 2010 the House of Representatives passed the unconstitutional Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. The hastily crafted legislation was written behind closed doors and did not afford Members of Congress the opportunity to read, much less understand the legislation before voting on it. Contained within the bill is an unprecedented mandate that individuals purchase private insurance. This affront to Federalism requires that Americans purchase a government-approved product, or face a substantial fine. The government can’t tell you what kind of car to purchase, how can it tell you what kind of health care is acceptable? Congress must act quickly to repeal this unconstitutional legislation.

All votes on H.R. 2 will be among those considered for Citizens United’s 2011 Congressional Ratings.

Citizens United was founded in 1988, and is one of the leading conservative advocacy groups in the country with over 500,000 members and supporters. Through its films, op-eds, policy papers, newsletters, and grassroots organizing, Citizens United seeks to reassert the traditional American values of limited government, freedom of enterprise, strong families, and national sovereignty and security.

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie
President, Citizens United
