NC GOP Exec Committee Passes Obamacare Nullification Resolution

 

On Saturday December 8, 2013 the North Carolina Republican Executive Committee passed two resolutions. One of the resolutions was to call upon the NC legislature and Governor-elect Pat McCrory to send back all Federal money for the Obamacare Exchanges, and, in effect, work towards Nullification of its tyrannical power grab. The second was a call to the Republican National Committee to undo the effects of the RNC’s Rule 12, which was the “Alinsky” style scripted vote during the Convention that would allow President of the United States candidates to pick delegates. This effectively shows support fro the Minority Reports in Tampa.

With regard to the resolution for returning Federal money and working towards nullification, the passed resolution reads as follows:

A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE RETURN OF FEDERAL MONIES INTENDED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A STATE/FEDERAL HEALTHCARE EXCHANGE IN NORTH CAROLINA

WHEREAS Governor BEV PERDUE recently accepted $73.5 million in federal money for the express purpose of establishing a hybrid state/federal healthcare exchange in North Carolina, and
WHEREAS the TENTH AMENDMENT to the US CONSTITUTION prohibits the Federal Government from assuming any powers not specifically delegated to it by the US CONSTITUTION, and

WHEREAS the NINTH AMENDMENT to the US CONSTITUTION guarantees to the People rights not enumerated in the US CONSTITUTION and reserves to the People of North Carolina those rights, and

WHEREAS the United States Supreme Court has ruled in NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS v. SEBELIUS, 567 S. CT. 11-393 (2012), that “the legitimacy of Congress’s exercise of the spending power…rests on whether the State voluntarily and knowingly accepts the terms of the contract,” and

WHEREAS Republican governors such as RICK PERRY, SCOTT WALKER, PAUL LEPAGE, AND NIKKI HALEY have publicly refused to establish state-run healthcare exchanges in their states, and

WHEREAS North Carolina elected a Republican governor and Republican supermajority to the General Assembly in the 2012 general election,

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED, that we, the North Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee, urge Governor-elect Pat McCrory, NC House Speaker Thom Tillis, and Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger to immediately signal their intent to return the $73.5 million in federal monies intended for use in setting up an ObamaCare Exchange, and state further that no other cooperation in establishing such an exchange will be forthcoming from any part of North Carolina’s state government.
