RE: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said he’s recruited more than a dozen Senate Republicans willing to shut down the government to prevent President Obama’s healthcare law from going into effect.

If funding is to be withheld for Obamacare, It's not going to come from the Dem controlled Senate. IT MUST COME FROM THE HOUSE.

Thus far, the House has done nothing but pass bills to REPEAL Obamacare (37 times thus far). It's not going to work as long as Harry Reid is majority leader.

Time to try another strategery (sic). DEFUND Obamacare.

There is a House bill (in fact, there have been several, IIRC), but it will have no clout without Senate support. They are not withholding funding (because they can’t); they are saying that if it is funded, they will not allow the rest of the government to go ahead.

This is a very positive thing, because as long as Harry Reid is in charge and the Dems have a majority, they’re not going to be able to actually repeal the thing.
