(Orlando, Florida) Florida Taxpayers Union issued the following statement following the US Supreme Courts determination that ObamaCare passes constitutional muster:

“Only a few hours have passed since we sent you our 2013 LEGISLATIVE ISSUES SURVEY. Only a few hours more have passed since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its calamitous decision upholding the bulk of the federal health care law. I share in your disappointment, surprise and frustration.

As much as today’s decision may feel like the end of the road, I assure you that the battle rages on.

Here in Florida, multiple legal challenges to significant aspects of the law including the Independent Payment Advisory Board are ongoing, and we are grateful to our supporters nationwide for making this possible. And polls consistently find that more than half of American voters favor repealing the law. On Election Day, we have the opportunity to elect new representatives who will restore constitutional limits on government.

At its core, the battle for health care freedom represents a timeless political question: How much power should the federal government have over our lives? This question will not be answered by a single Supreme Court decision. Those of us who believe in freedom remember Thomas Jefferson’s prescient admonition that the fight for liberty requires eternal vigilance.

We lost a battle today, but the fight for freedom endures. We look forward to working with you in the months ahead to reverse this destructive path and continue restoring and protecting the freedoms we cherish.

Florida Taxpayers Union will be working with the 10th Amendment Center to lead Florida to nullify ObamaCare in Florida.

Sincerely,

Keith Recine

President
