Governor Christie in the Crosshairs on Obamacare "It's a 2,500-page bill. We would like to act in a way that is informed. And from my perspective, given the transition and that I haven't been living with this issue for a year, I want to make sure I get fully informed by my attorney general and by my commissioner of health, which I've asked for them to give me advice. When they do, then I'll consider whether or not we need to take any legal action." -Governor Christie Amazingly, that was Governor Christie's response when asked if his administration would join the fight taken up by over 14 other states and challenge the unconstitutional provisions of Obamacare! After 8 long months of contentious debate, it's hard to believe that Governor Christie is uninformed about two of the worst provisions of Washington's government takeover of health care - the individual mandate and the burdensome Medicaid mandate that would cost New Jersey taxpayers billions of dollars. Now, he claims he needs advice from two supporters of the government takeover in his cabinet before making up his mind -- his newly appointed Commissioner of Health & Senior Services, Poonam Alaigh, and his Attorney General Paula Dow. AFP recently opposed Alaigh's nomination. We have shown that Dr. Alaigh is an Obamacare supporter who refused to be forthcoming with us on her views on these very issues when she repeatedly refused to respond to our health care survey. Alaigh was also a donor to the Senate campaign of Congressman Frank Pallone, one of the co-sponsors of the House health care bill. Paula Dow is also a supporter of left-wing causes, whose first action as Attorney General was to support Governor Corzine's 'one gun a month' rationing law. You and I cannot allow Governor Christie to not defend our rights because he is taking "advice" from Obamacare supporters in his cabinet! You and I have fought too hard and too long to let that happen. Governor Christie needs to hear from you now. Click here to sign our petition - demand that the Governor direct his Attorney General to join these lawsuits and protect our rights!

signed. I know you feel like I do. I am sick and tired of so called "moderates" who define themselves that way because they position in the middle of the spectrum even as the spectrum moves ever left.
ReplyDeleteSo far, IL has not challenged the unconstitutional provisions of Obamacare...and.....I don't see a challenge in the near future...not a surprise!
