I’d like people’s opinion on this and I’m surprised that I have not seen this idea posted.
1) Romney should be asked to sign a pledge that he will sign an executive order halting Obamacare within one week of his inauguration. If he refuses this to this, he’s not serious about repealing this law and does not deserve conservative support.
2) All House and Senate republicans up for election should be asked to sign a pledge that they will immediately introduce and or support legislation defunding all aspects of Obamacare. Same logic here, if they can’t make the commitment they are not worth supporting.
Asking politicians to sign pledges?
Wow, that will be a first in American history, especially if they are willing to do so. Obamacare does not affect our politicians — they made sure of that.
But then again, who guarantees any pledge given by a politician?
Because you’re not a muslim.
You want privileges and special treatment in the US? Become a muslim.

The Tea Party’s website should have a list of the Tea Party Candidates (the ones we are supporting and getting into office) ... then if they get in, there should be a scorecard for each of them so we can watch the actions of the people we are putting in there. I’m tired of having Tea Party favorites “waver” a little now and then. This is time for strong beliefs. I’d like to see a Tea Party Scoreboard.

Once a person is assessed the tax and pays it he can sue for a refund and to have the tax repealed.
Michigan governor to move forward on health exchange
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday urged lawmakers to work with him to set up an online site where individuals and small businesses can comparison shop for private health insurance now that the U.S. Supreme Court has largely upheld President Barack Obama’s federal health care law.
The Republican governor said in a statement that he didn’t agree with everything in the law, which he says doesn’t focus enough on promoting wellness and restraining health care costs. But he wants to work quickly to set up Michigan’s online marketplace so the state “can make decisions regarding what will be covered as opposed to Washington, D.C., making those decisions for us.”
Republican House Speaker Jase Bolger said he would work with Snyder’s administration to set up a state-run health insurance exchange, though he said he was “mad and disappointed” with the ruling.
“Having the state establish a health care exchange is not something we wish to do, but we cannot stand idly by and hand over our citizens’ health care to an overreaching federal bureaucracy,” the Marshall lawmaker said.
Although the GOP-led Senate passed a measure allowing the exchange to be created, Republicans who control the House refused to let state officials use $9.8 million in federal planning dollars until after the court ruled. The House could approve spending the money when lawmakers return to session for one day on July 19.
At least one conservative group, Americans For Prosperity-Michigan, vowed to fight the exchange. It said it would send campaign literature into more than 20 House districts and three Senate districts asking if the lawmakers who hold those seats — many of them Republicans — are “Obamacare collaborators” who approve spending money to set up an exchange.
That’s our Rick (I’ll take it from here) Snyder. He wants to keep tabs on children’s weight, loves windmills and high speed rail.
The only good thing I have to say about Rick Snyder is that he signs the things sent to his desk.
