The Republican Sabotage of America

The Republican Sabotage of America

Republican sabotage is killing Americans.

Never in the history of our nation has a political party tried so hard to actively sabotage a piece of legislation like today's Republican Party is doing with Obamacare.

Republicans in Washington and across the nation are so committed to sabotaging President Obama's presidency that they're willing to let people die.

While Republicans have failed 47 times to repeal Obamacare or at the very least defund it on the national level, their relentless sabotage efforts are working very well on the state level.
From Texas to Florida, Republicans are preventing millions of Americans from having access to affordable, life-saving health care.

Theda Skocpol, a professor of government and sociology at Harvard, has compiled data showing just how successful Republican sabotage efforts over Obamacare have been.

They'll eventually have to conform and accept the Obama change, whether they like it or not. States that prosper because of ObamaCare will lead the way and show how it's done.

If ever the American people need to register to vote and do everything they can to make their votes count, it's now.

Apathy made them drop the ball in 2010 and a tsunami of RED crashed over their States. Now we see what happens when Republicans are in control of power.

Are Americans finally ready to wise up and boot the Republicans out before they kill their kids with their adolescent temper-tantrums? Or will they be complicit in it?

and rec'd.
