House Republicans Bring Health Care Town Hall To D.C.

Travis Martinez, University of New Mexico-Talk Radio News Service

The 2009 Values Voter Summit put on by FRC Action held a town hall meeting in Washington, D.C. Friday Morning featuring a number of high profile Republicans, including Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.), Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.).

Rep. Smith rallied against Obama-Care's supposed inclusion of federally funded abortions.

“Right now we are in a serious crisis, the culture of death being promoted by Barack Obama... is outrageous and it’s unconstitutional,” said Smith.

“Obama-Care represents the greatest threat since Roe vs. Wade itself,” Smith added.

Rep. Bachmann lamented that taxes will be raised now to cover services that will not be provided for another three to four years. She proposed that the American public should have access to what Bachmann described as, “whatever level of coverage you want, from whoever you want, anywhere you want."

Bachmann applauded a recent decision from the House to deny federal funding to ACORN, the scandal ridden community organizing association and called upon the President to make the final decision.

“The President has within his power to direct the Department of Housing and Urban development to stop federal grants for ACORN now, but has yet to act,” said Bachmann.
