More good news coming out of the Virginia General Assembly Thursday:
Del. Bob Marshall’s health freedom bill, HB 10, passed the House of Delegates 72-26.
The Senate bills on this issue, SB 283, SB 311 and SB 417, all passed the House Commerce and Labor committee by 17-5 margins and are headed to the floor.
At this point, several versions of the Health Care Freedom Act, which would effectively nullify various unconstitutional aspects of proposed federal health care legislation, have passed the Senate (SB417, SB283, SB311), and another has passed the House (HB10). If and when either chamber passes the other’s bill, Bob McDonnell will have the privilege of signing Health Care Freedom into law in Virginia.
And, though he may not realize it yet, Gov. McDonnell will also be delivering an important message to the politicians in Washington: Get back into your constitutional box, or We the People will put you there.

This post was mentioned on Twitter by TenthAmendment: #10th: Health Care Freedom Bill Passes VA House http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/02/health-care-freedom-bill-passes-va-house/...
I just pulled this off the "Oath Keepers" website:
"VA Senator Jill Vogel's SB417 passed on the House floor moments ago with a vote of 66 – 29. We expect Governor McDonnell will sign the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act into law the moment it crosses his desk.
The House version, HB10, was passed by the full House yesterday by a vote of 72 – 26. Virginia will not have to comply with federal mandates to purchase health care insurance once Governor McDonnell signs SB417, and likely HB10, into law.
This follows the above-posted message:
"Virginia will not have to comply with federal mandates to purchase health care insurance once Governor McDonnell signs SB417, and likely HB10, into law.
Under Obamacare, if you file your tax return and fail to offer proof that you have a policy that puts you in compliance with the law, the IRS will try to penalize you, possibly by garnishing your state tax refund. If you live in Virginia, you will have the Commonwealth in your corner. Virginia's Attorney
General has vowed to challenge the feds in court should any citizen of Virginia be penalized for not purchasing federally approved health care insurance. This legislation also opens up a test case that could get ObamaCare thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court.
We have effectively reaffirmed our position that it is "we the people" that set the course for this nation. Governments are instituted by the governed and will not be usurped on our watch.
