House CR Vote - A Slow But Getting Faster Burn

Former NJ Tea Party congressional candidate Richard Luzzi recently sent me a note pointing out that the Republicans gained the majority in the House based on the collective promise to the voters that they would repeal ObamaCare. And if they couldn't repeal it they would defund it. Well this afternoon was the time for the House majority to put their votes where their mouths were during the campaign. Sadly three quarters of the freshman Republicans voted the wrong way including James Lankford, Tim Scott, & Rob Woodall who voted with the establishment old-guard Republican leadership headed by the detestable John Boehner, Eric Cantor, & Paul Ryan.

The actual House vote was for another new extension of the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government for fiscal year 2011 that is now almost six months old.

Representatives Steve King & Michele Bachmann had warned that Boehner would not include a provision in the CR to rescind the $105 billion of appropriations that was surreptitiously inserted by the Democrats in the ObamaCare legislation.

So even with all of the unequivocal promises to take a stand for America & the return to excellence of our founding libertarian principles only 54 Republicans voted as the party collectively had promised - the rest have already abandoned the principles they ran on. See if your congressman is on the list below & if he is I suggest working against him with all of your might. As usual Rodney Frelinghuysen, Leonard Lance, Frank LoBiondo, & Jon Runyan voted for the status quo - a slow but getting faster burn of the ruination of America.
