#1 Bill to repeal, If vetoed then continue.
#2 Defund as this suggest, But do not leave the framework period.
#3 Bill to repeal until complete.

Simple and does not leave this threat out there longer than possible, even though it is UnConstitutional

No this is part of the check-and-balance power of Congress. They fund the Supreme Court and the White House.

In the past they have defunded both when issues have arisen. Haven’t done it lately, but it has been done and ought to be done again.

Executive branch enforces laws. However Congress can defund it so enforcement becomes impossible. Great for when a president wants to enforce an unconstitutional law. Supremes can rule certain things unconstitutional but Congress can defund the courts in addition to passing law that prevents Supreme Court from ruling on legal issues. Supreme court members can also be removed from the bench. It has happened, and it can be done.

I wonder how many good, seemingly necessary things are attached to some of the “obamacare” legislation, so the Socialist Democratic Party can claim that “the heartless Republicans” are failing to fund “such-and-such” programs for the elderly, the destitute, disabled Veterans, etc, etc, ad nauseum? I believe these sleazy, diabolical dims carefully crafted Obamacare legislation in a manner that would make it repeal-resistent on its own merits down the road. Republicans are really going to show us what they’re made of soon. If they fail to at least vigorously try to repeal it then we’ll know which ones have to go next election.

Lets also defund all of these “Charities” like ACORN, SEIU, Progress for America and any others that are out there.

IF they are such worthy causes, then let them raise their own funds...

*It wasn’t about health care! It was about jobs for the communists in the SEIU.*

yep, who then must vote forever Democrat to keep their jobs, just like the welfare recipients and the illegal aliens

Thus Congress (specifically, the House) can just sit on its hands and watch ObamaCare wither on the vine. What could be easier?

Ah! The 'do nothing' approach - the liberal mindset speaks. Beware of deception. What 'looks easy' is never easy in the end. they both fight it and starve it. - DOUBLE WHAMMY!

'Sit on your hands' approach - LOL!! How the liberals only wish that deceptive method will be taken by the R's.

We currently operate with no budget.

We face a “lame duck” session.

My suggestion is we pressure the “lame ducks” at the expense of their careers to do nothing.

And then in January when the 112th Congress begins if the Dems don’t want to go along the Pubbies should vote to go home and shut DC Down until they wake up.

They have proven they will only ignore the leftist howlers IF WE howl louder. I keep saying this. Those that can give money to conservatives give, give, give. Not to the RNC...Zero.

Those with the gift of gab, sales and public speaking please use your gifts at town halls and anywhere appropriate. Run for office if you can.

I know I am one of the “WE the People” eliminate any spending for Obummercare and Obummer. No money to be spent on the ObummerCare. He has spent enough - take away his toys - planes, helicopter, limosine . teleprompter. hi busget is now 1.00. He has an income that he earned in 2009 of 5 million. let him spend that. Anything else he was to spend is his responsibility.

The ‘defund it’ approach would seem to mean that the voters would have to keep Republicans as the majority in the house every year that Obamacare is not repealed.

On the one hand, as Obama goes down in flames and the RATS are abandoning his ship, floating Rats can ‘afford’ to abandon Obamacare and claim they want a NEW, IMPROVED Obamacare lite or some other equally unacceptable thing but it lets them repeal Obamacare while telling the lefties that they are going to do it better with the ‘public option intact’. On the other hand, if Nancy Pelosi is still Minority Leader in the House - she would help punish and Rat who actually did that.

We currently operate with no money. Here is Obama May 23, 2009 telling C-SPAN’s Steve Scully.

No need to hassle with killing the beast when you can more easily starve the beast.

Ah! A "Death Panel" for Obamacare.
