You realize, of course, that TX is one of the 27 states that are suing in federal court to overturn Obamacare? And that TX was one of the original 14 states to join the suit at the earliest possible date, March 23, 2010, after it was passed by the Congress, giving the states’ AG’s a cause of action? And that The TX AG did not pursue the case without the governor’s authorization? .
That’s certainly one way to ‘speak out’ and not remain silent. Ultimately those cases are the only way that Obamacare will be overturned, if the states succeed in the SCOTUS. It’s about actions being louder than words.
BUMP
Yes many states have done the same. But you overlooked the point I was addressing. Not going to repeat it - if you have an agenda you would overlook it no matter how many times I posted it. And your action speaks louder than words shows your agenda. And her words brought action - the very next day! I guess you overlooked that, also.
When she spoke, they listened and this is when they were pushing it through. Didn’t hear anyone else speak out then. Virginia was the first state to go the court route and then, eventually, other states did the same.
And many many ‘We the People’ citizens made their voices heard in town hall meetings. And many of us called and faxed while they were pushing it through amidst the silence of elected officials. Now it’s to their advantage to, personally, speak out about it.
