Re: Obamacare
Nullification
Dear Friends,
We won a great victory
this year for the conservative cause.
Our victory has been
hailed by conservatives all over the country. In fact, it was probably the
most significant legislative accomplishment in the House of Representatives
all year.
One way I know I'm
right about that is that, the liberals and the political establishment are
doing everything they can to undo it. Unfortunately for me, since I was the
main one pushing for this legislation, their main tactic is to try and
silence me by attacking me personally.
As you know, I took a
bold step this year and introduced the Health Care Freedom of Choice Act,
commonly known as Obamacare Nullification.
Even though the
experts and political pundits unanimously pronounced the legislation
dead-on-arrival, by the grace of God and the hard work of many dedicated citizens,
we got the bill out of committee and were able to persuade a majority of the
House of Representatives to vote in favor of it.
We did what none of
the establishment thought could be done, but the battle is far from over.
Right now the bill is in a Senate committee, and they are committed to
keeping it there.
In order to kill the
bill, they are desperately trying to distract from the main issue. Even
though it is no longer in the House, they are actually attacking me
personally and are even threatening to file an Ethics complaint against me.
Let me explain.
When we were working
so hard to get the bill out of committee, we took the tactic of bringing in
the most respected and scholarly authorities we could find to explain the
legality, Constitutionality, and economic effects of this bill and the dire
consequences of not adopting nullification.
One of the experts we
brought in was Dr. Walter Williams, a distinguished professor of Economics at
George Mason University. Dr. Williams' testimony to the committee was
devastating to those big government types who wanted to obstruct us from
preserving our liberties.
Instead of carefully
considering Dr. Williams' testimony and debating the issue on the merits,
however, the liberals seized on the fact that I had authorized the
Aeronautics Commission to use the state airplane to bring Dr. Williams to
Columbia, so the committee could hear his important testimony and interact
with him directly.
Let me say,
categorically, that before I authorized that flight, I did all necessary due
diligence to determine that this was an appropriate, legal, and ethical use
of the state airplane. I was assured by all the officials I spoke with that
this was permissible.
I also considered
carefully the potential damage that a future opponent could do to me in my
re-election, because the state airplane is such a hot-button issue.
The conclusion I came
to was that, although the airplane is often abused by politicians, this was
an entirely appropriate use of this state asset, and that Dr. Williams'
testimony was significant enough to warrant this unusual step. I also
concluded that it was worth the political risk, because Obamacare is such an
enormous threat to our future.
The Democrats and
liberals of course don't see it that way.
Having lost on the
merits of the issue, and having lost in the court of public opinion, they are
focusing all their attention on trying to paint me as "unethical"
and are even trying to intimidate me into personally re-paying the cost of
the flight (about $6,300).
In the next few days,
I expect the media will be making a big deal out of this issue, as my
political opponents try to keep me from pushing Obamacare Nullification to
final passage.
I wanted you to know
that I am not giving up and I am not backing down. But I cannot do it alone.
There are two ways you
can help:
First; please call your
Senator today and urge him to bring Obamacare Nullification to the floor for
a vote, before the end of the Session. It is critical that you do that now.
You can find your
Senator's contact information here: CLICK HERE TO FIND YOUR SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE.
Second; please call Rep.
Bruce Bannister, and ask him to use his influence as GOP Majority Leader to
cover my back and keep these liberals from derailing our efforts.
You can reach Rep.
Bannister at (803) 734-3138, or BruceBannister@SCHouse.gov .
Thank you for all your
help, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Rep. Bill Chumley
