Mitt Romney's presidential campaign has raised $4.2 million since the Supreme Court ruled the healthcare reform legislation constitutional, his press secretary reported in a tweet on Friday morning.

Romney responded to the ruling by renewing his pledge to repeal the Affordable Care Act known as "Obamacare."

He wrote in a fundraising email to supporters on Thursday: "Today, the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. But regardless of what the Court said about the constitutionality of the law, Obamacare is bad medicine, it is bad policy, and when I’m President, the bad news of Obamacare will be over."

The Supreme Court's ruling was a clear win for President Obama, who counts the healthcare bill as a signature achievement of his first term. But Romney and other Republicans made clear they would not give up the fight to repeal what they call a government takeover of healthcare.

Romney's campaign had raised $2.5 million by 1:33 p.m. Thursday.

Abortion is not even an issue in this campaign,which is telling. Stopping abortion will never happen by government action. It will only happen when women and men are raised to understand the consequences and given the moral compass to understand how evil abortion is. If you are waiting for a candidate for the Presidency to add the repeal of Roe v. Wade to their plank you will never vote again. Stop government funding of abortions, stop government free pre and post natal care and you can get a little control over the issue. If the government stops funding Planned Parenthood than the cost of an abortion will go up dramatically. Stop feeding the providers money and the costs will rise for abortions, Mitt will not do this, but a conservative Congress can and can force Mitt to sign the bill.

“I also am a Mayflower descendant. So what? The biggest threat to my country right now, is one man. God has ‘told” me to defeat him at the ballot box and I will do everything it takes.”

Then live your convictions. I’ll live mine.

Yes,but then the reality of what will Romeny do? If he repeals ObamaRomney/Care on day one I would definitely feel much better. If he backs off or compromises..then I am going on Welfare.

Thanks to Roberts, we'll all be on welfare before too long unless we maintain a perpetually conservative congress.

Romney is a stop gap measure (as he is our only option at the moment).

(When?/If?) he disapoints, fire him.

I’ve got better things to do with money.

Yeah. Like pay taxes on stuff Obama tells you to buy but you don't want to buy.

You should get a historical perspective, this is not the first time we have been through this. There has been hand wringing likes this at various times in our history. Our country has not ended, politicians have been reviled and accused of destroying this country for two centuries now. We are fighting policies that began with Wilson and need to be stopped now. It has been a hundred year war and the conservatives are the last bastion of limited government. Mitt is NOT a conservative, but Obama IS a dictator. While Glenn Beck can be tedious with his histrionics, he gives a very good historical perspective of the war. Every time someone says “oh it's Gods will” or “our country has already ended” they have surrendered to Soros and his ilk. We cannot totally turn back the clock, but we now need a constitutional amendment(s) to stop the court from taxing from the bench as the Chief Anus Roberts did, to change our tax laws and stop payroll taxes, to protect our religious institutions and update our immigration laws and put troops on our borders and finally term limit politicians forever. That will not all happen under Mitt, and it will be a long fight, but we have a chance with GOP governors, State AG’s, a DOJ that threatens to actually enforce the laws on the books, conservatives in Congress driving the agenda etc. Surrender to the Dictator and Chief Obama and none of it will ever happen.

I tried to donate yesterday but the Romney website would not accept credit cards with dates of 2011 which mine is.

Donate to your local Tea Party instead. Better and more worthy recipient, in my opinion.

I serve God first and foremost. If I have to be homeless, so be it. Not many “Christian” people standing with me there.

Romney can be worked with and held to account by a gop senate and gop house

If you think a Republican dominated Congress is going to bend the leader of their party to their will, you need to pay closer attention to politics. It'll never happen. Never has, never will.

In Texas, Dewberry has refused to sign the "Repeal ObamaScare" pledge.

Well isn't that special. Figgers, although there's one particular Freeper who will fight you to the death if you tell the truth about that RINO.

God does not determine the course a country takes, who is elected or what they believe. God is concerned about the soul of man, the secular activities of man are not his concern. God gave man free will, how we use it determines how we live our life and what comes after life. God gave us the guide to a good life and a good society, we have the free will to follow it or not. You may believe that God intervenes in your personal life, but there is nothing in the Bible that says God intervenes in Governments directly. He did use Prophets at one time but only with his choosing people.

“You should get a historical perspective, this is not the first time we have been through this.”

Thank you. I’m well aware of that. I may appear to be a knuckle dragger, but the majority of my family went to Ivy league schools and at least one relative was a dean. I have the curse/ blessing of knowledge and knowing God personally.

It has happened and it can happen again, but only in a Presidents first term.

Obama, if re-elected will nominate 2 or 3 new Justices who will guarantee that millions more will be aborted. Can you live with that?

Sounds like you've never reviewed Romney's record of appointments to the bench. I wouldn't feel so confident about what sort of people he'll nominate to the Supreme Court if I were you.

Hopefully Romney will understand just why he got that much money and what the expectation is from those who gave him that money. We don’t want RomneyCare, nor ObamaCare, he’d better understand that.

You're absolutely right. The clear and present danger to our country is Obama and people surrendering.
