We the People taking on ObamaCare

The Justice Foundation has filed a petition in Travis County requesting a permanent injunction to stop the State of Texas from spending tax dollars on the implementation of ObamaCare in the State of Texas.

Allan Parker, president of the Justice Foundation, is representing me individually and Grassroots America - We the People as Plaintiffs in the case. This is a bold move. It is a necessary move.

While we appreciate the bold public stands Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott have taken to fight ObamaCare, we believe "the People" must go further while we wait for the now-declared unconstitutional Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to make its way to the Supreme Court of the United States. We do not want the State of Texas to spend tax dollars setting up the infrastructure for implementation of ObamaCare. While we hope some of the bills currently filed in the TX legislature to fight ObamaCare at the state level will prevail, given the game-playing and political dealing that goes on in Austin, we simply cannot depend on that legislation to stop ObamaCare in Texas. We simply cannot wait for our elected officials to do the right thing.

Here are two sources of information that give us great concern:

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott: Feds playing delay game on ObamaCare ruling

AG says anti-ObamaCare ruling likely to be heard by U.S. Supreme Court

We hope our action will protect the people of Texas. We hope our action will speed the process to get the case to SCOTUS. Frankly, the State Legislature needs to stay out of the Rainy Day Fund. Should -- God forbid -- SCOTUS not rule ObamaCare unconstitutional and should the Congress fail in completely defunding ObamaCare, that is when it will truly be raining in Texas and the Rainy Day Fund can be used while we wait to elect a new President and Congress that will get the job done.

Attached find our news release for today and a Fact Sheet that will more clearly set forth our position. I humbly ask for your support and your earnest prayers that Liberty will prevail. Please circulate this information should you deem it worthwhile.
