H3101, the “Obamacare Nullification” bill, passed by a strong vote in the House but has been getting stonewalled in the Senate.  That resistance cracked this week with HEAVY grassroots pressure and support.  The Senate recalled H3101 out of the finance committee with a vote of 26-19.   The Senate then followed up with a “special order” vote of 28-16 – to move H3101 towards the top of the schedule.

This was absolutely necessary because the legislative deadline for 2013 is coming up within a few short days.  BUT, the special order vote was to put the bill BEHIND the ethics bill. It has only a slim chance to be voted on in time unless it’s moved AHEAD of ethics.  Listen to Senator Lee Bright on the South Carolina’s radio show Jonathan and Kelly on May 30th hour 2 radio show here.

Please take the following actions today – over the weekend and in the evening as well – to help H3101 move forward!

BACKGROUND ARTICLES AND INFORMATION ON NULLIFICATION AND “OBAMACARE.”

Just as the U.S. Supreme Court can offer their opinion and declare a law unconstitutional, the states can essentially do the same thing through a process commonly called “Nullification.” There is a reason that supreme court cases end up with the justices issuing an “opinion.”
