United Liberty

On Thursday I posted a link to a new website sponsored by the Club for Growth that offered a pledge to lawmakers, candidates and citizens to help repeal ObamaCare should it pass the Congress this year.

Since the launch of Repeal It, 5,203 citizens (likely to be more by the time you read this) have given their pledge to support candidates for federal office that will work to repeal the legislation being falsely promoted as “health care reform.”

Twenty-nine lawmakers, members of the House and Senate, have signed the pledge for their respective chambers promising their states and districts that they will repeal ObamaCare.

And 58 candidates for either the House or Senate have also taken the pledge to “to sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government.”

Three signers of the candidate pledge are candidates we’ve been following here at United Liberty because of their extraordinary stances on issues of economic and personal liberty: Adam Kokesh (R-NM-3), Rand Paul (R-KY-Senate) and Peter Schiff (R-CT-Senate).

Other notable candidates that have signed the pledge are:

• Marco Rubio (R-FL-Senate), who is matched up against Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in a contentious primary fight. Crist has not signed the pledge.
• Chuck DeVore (R-CA-Senate), who is running against Carly Fiorina in the GOP primary to face Barbara Boxer. Fiorina has not signed the pledge.
• Tom Graves (R-GA-9), who is locked in a primary with several other candidates in this open seat. Only one other candidate in this race has signed the pledge.
• Sharron Angle, Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian: All three of these candidates are running for the GOP nomination in Nevada to face Sen. Harry Reid in November.

Have you signed the citizen’s pledge yet? I have and so have some of the other contributors here at United Liberty. We encourage you to commit to backing candidates that will fight off this massive expansion of government involvement in health care.
