On Thursday, the conservative Club For Growth urged House members to vote for the House GOP’s continuing resolution which defunds Obamacare.
It announced that it would be “key-voting” the bill — or grading lawmakers on the basis of their votes. The deep-pocketed activist group helped scuttle House leaders’ original plan to fund the government without risking a shutdown.
Below is the note the Club’s lobbyist Andy Roth sent to congressional offices:
Everyone,
The Club for Growth urges all House members to vote “YES” on the FY14 Continuing Resolution (H.J.Res. 59) that fully and permanently defunds and delays ObamaCare. Consideration of the bill is scheduled for later this week. The vote on this resolution will be included in the Club’s 2013 Congressional Scorecard.
Despite our strong concern that House leaders are punting on the task of cutting spending to December, we believe defunding ObamaCare is the paramount issue for conservatives to support right now. With enrollment starting on October 1 for the state exchanges, Congress must act quickly to bar funds for this disastrous law.
Our Congressional Scorecard for the 113th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.
