Sen. David Vitter, R-La., wants to know why members of Congress and their staff are exempted from Obamacare.

“Washington insiders should be forced to live under Obamacare just like the rest of America without a special taxpayer funded subsidy,” says @DavidVitter

Vitter, who launched an investigation this week, said in a statement that “false information may have been filed with the D.C. Health Benefits Exchange to allow Congress to be exempt from [the] Obamacare exchange.”

The chairman of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee cited a court filing obtained by Judicial Watch that admits Congress—with more than 16,000 employees—doesn’t fit the District of Columbia’s definition of a “small employer,” an organization with less than 50.

Another case where most voters don't know that Congress is running the big con on them about Obamacare. Hooray for Cong. Vitter, but don't bet the farm he will get a lot of support to do something.

Extortion-Care is human body trafficking. The new MBS scam, in the selling of human body trafficking, by so called “insurance” companies.

When Republicans take back the White House, will they PROPERLY investigate all of the illegal activity the Obama Regime has and is doing???

Our country is fairly unique in history in that when power changes hands, those who were previously in power don’t get executed.

Our side, however, has taken this tradition too far in allowing actual crimes against the Constitution go unpunished.

I think it’s a loss of the concept of “true authority”.

The true authority in our country lies not in the elected people in government, nor in their offices,
but in the written words of the Constitution as they were understood at the time of their writing.
