170 Republicans have now signed the discharge petition to repeal Obamacare. The petition was submitted by Rep. Steve King and has been pushed heavily by the Heritage Action for America (my new employer, as it happens) and other conservative organizations. There are a few stragglers but for the most part, House Republicans are now solid in their commitment to repeal the bill.
Not so with the Democrats, for not one has signed the petition.
34 Democrats voted against Obamacare, but not one of them has been willing to buck Nancy Pelosi and work on a bipartisan basis to allow a vote on repeal. Not one.
Focusing on these Democrats is the next wave of the legislative campaign to repeal Obamacare. The names and districts are below the fold—call them and demand to know why they support keeping Obamacare the permanent law of the land.
